Annika pours the cachaça, off shore in Monterey Bay, with helmsman Char looking on. This one is for Joao, who has just graduated boatbuilding school. Saúde!
In a sturdy glass muddle 1 lime cut into eighths, along with a teaspoon of sugar (fine baker’s or ‘castor’ sugar preferred). Fill glass with ice, and fill to top with cachaça (Toucano is our house brand).

cheers!
