Review

Cachaça adds an almost banana-like note to this liqueur rather than spirit-based citrusy sour.

A little sweet for me in these proportions but when taken to 40 ml Cointreau and 27.5 Cachaca much more proportioned.

I agree. Considering it's a 7 on the sweet/dry scale is it maybe a typo and it should be 2 spirit to 1 liqueur?
