Ingredients

2 whole Limes
2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
2 ounces Vodka

Step 1

Wash the limes thoroughly, then cut each lime into quarters.

Using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, gently muddle the limes and sugar together to release the lime juice and dissolve the sugar. Be careful not to over-muddle, as this can make the cocktail bitter.

Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

Step 7

Stir again to chill the drink evenly.

Step 8

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Caipirosca!
