  • Cut 1 lime into ~8 wedges, put into a thin/tall glass (small french presses are awesome for this). Add the brown sugar and cachaca and muddle.
  • Pour into 4 glasses (in my case, red wine glasses) over a couple ice cubes.
  • Top off each glass with seltzer water & mix.
  • Serve to unsuspecting guests as caipirinhas. Bask in their praise.
