serves 1
5 small strawberries, hulled (about 3/4 cup)
1 ounce fresh Meyer lemon juice (juice from 1 whole Meyer lemon)
5 teaspoons granulated sugar
5 ounces cachaça (such as Germana Soul)
1 Meyer lemon wheel, for garnish
Combine strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar in a cocktail shaker. Muddle together just enough to break down strawberries and macerate with sugar.
Add cachaça and ice, and the shaker. Shake vigorously until well chilled and sugar has time to incorporate, about 15–20 seconds.
Strain drink into a rocks glasses filled with fresh ice. Garnish with a lemon slice.
