Recipe Notes

 
Cachaca

If you don't have Cachaca, which is a sugar cane liquor, quality white rum would do the trick.

Crushed Ice

As we mentioned before, we are huge fans of crushed ice in summer drinks. The easiest and cheapest way to get instant crushed ice is by using this portable hand crank ice crusher you can find on Amazon. This is one gadget you can use all the time so believe me when I say it's worth the investment. However, if you are really reluctant to spend the money for it, cubed ice would still work for this drink, but it just won't look as good!
