- Cut the lime in quarters then cut them crosswise.
- Put lime and sugar in a tall glass and mash with a pestle (or a wood spoon, rolling pin, etc).

Delightful drink! I made this with cachaca & lime and loved it, but my husband thought the lime was too much. Can you belive it?! I made another round with one lime and half an orange (for 2 drinks) and it was deeelicious. It's important to get the sugar to dissolve before pouring out the drink (I got a little ahead of myself once...). Thanks for the great technique!
