Directions

1. Cut the lemons into wedges and place them in a large pitcher.

2. Sprinkle the sugar over the lemon wedges and gently muddle them with a muddler or the back of a spoon until the lemons release their juice, about 1-2 minutes.

3. Add the cachaça and water to the pitcher, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients.

4. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Caipirinha mixture over the ice, filling each glass to the brim.

5. Garnish with a lemon wedge or slice on the rim of each glass for a pop of color and extra flavor.
