1⁄2 fresh	Lime (fresh) chopped
6 fresh	Blackberries
1 oz	Agave syrup
2 oz	Cachaça from freezer

Prepare:

1. Select and pre-chill a HIGHBALL (MAX 10OZ/300ML) GLASS.
2. Prepare garnish of stirrer (spoon, wooden lolly stick or stick cut from sugar cane).

How to make:

3. CUT lime in half (from pole to pole) and then slice one of the halves into eight 3-4mm thick half-moon shaped segments and drop into the base of a robust rocks glass.
4. Add blackberries and MUDDLE some more.
5. When sure fruit juice is fully extracted, TRANSFER the muddled fruit into serving glass (preferably a 30cl / 10oz hi-ball glass).
6. ADD agave syrup to serving glass.

8. STIR to ensure all ingredients are well mixed.
9. Fill glass with ice. (If using large ice cubes, crack (rather than crush) four to five large ice cubes using an ICE TAPPER and drop into serving glass.)
