Cachaça and Tonic

Long drinks are just so refreshing on hot summer days. And tonic water is the ideal mixer with almost any spirit: gin, brandy, whisky, calvados, or, as here, cachaça -  fermented, fresh sugarcane juice that has been distilled. It's Brazil's national spirit and is mostly known from the drink called Caipirinha. The various brands have their own characteristics, but they all share an initial sweetness that comes from fresh sugarcane juice.


4 cl cachaça
Tonic water
2 lime slices
Pour ingredients into a highball glass filled with ice. Add two lime slices.
