Instruction

  • <b>Vitamix method</b>
  • Peel and quarter the limes and add them together with the lemongrass, sugar and cucumber into the Vitamix.
  • Pulse on low speed for a few seconds.
  • Add the ice and alcohol and then pulse until the ice is crushed and the drink has the consistency of a slushie. You can use the 'frozen' setting for this or increase the dial speed gradually.
  • Serve in rocks glasses with straws.

  • <b>By hand</b>
  • Cut each lime into quarters then eights. Put the limes, lemongrass, cucumber and sugar in a cocktail shaker and muddle with the end of a rolling pin trying to extract as much juice as you can.
  • Divide the juice and pulp between two rocks glasses and top with the Cachaça (either 2 or 3 tbsp per glass).
  • Fill the glasses with plenty of crushed ice and serve with straws.
