What it is
Brazil's national cocktail: cachaça, lime and sugar muddled into a rough, radiant, ice-cold refresher — samba in a glass. Ingredients: cachaça, one whole lime cut into wedges, granulated sugar, ice cubes. Method: 1) Muddle the lime wedges with the sugar in a sturdy tumbler — press hard to release the peel's oils, which are half the flavor. 2) Add the cachaça and stir. 3) Fill the glass to the top with ice and serve with a short straw. The experience: tart, sweet, grassy and electric — the lime oils and cane spirit hit together, then melt into balance as the ice opens it up. History: country people in São Paulo state were mixing cachaça with lime and sugar long before it had a famous name — a folk remedy turned national symbol; today no Brazilian beach day, barbecue or festa is complete without one.
