1. Cut up a lime into eight sections.
a. With a sharp paring knife, slice off the ends, cutting far enough to remove the white pith.
b. Cut the lime in half lengthwise.
c. Cut out the white, fibrous part running the length of each half.
d. Flip the half over and make two evenly spaced cuts lengthwise and two crosswise.
e. Put the pieces in your glass and make your caipirinha.
2. Put 2 tsp of sugar in a smallish, heavy-bottomed tumbler, add the cut-up lime, and mash everything together with a wooden muddler. Like a mortar and pestle (Press just enough to extract all the lime juice, not so much as to make a paste.)
3. Add 2 oz cachaça.
4. Add cracked ice and stir.
5. Samba like mad.
