For an extra layer of flavor, consider using Demerara sugar, which has larger crystals and a molasses-rich taste. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preference. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a bit more. The quality of the cachaça significantly impacts the final cocktail. Opt for a reputable brand made with pure sugarcane juice for the best results. If you don't have a muddler, you can use the back of a spoon or a wooden pestle, but be gentle to avoid bruising the lime.
