Pepper Basil Caipirinha

Step 2 The lime and the basil

Next, place half a lime in the glass. You'll want the lime in wedges to make them easier to work with. You only need to get the juices out. If you muddle too hard or long you may muddle the bitterness of the rind into your cocktail.

Once you have a good juicy mix, add your basil and muddler with a good twisting motion to release the herb's flavor.
