Review:

As the name suggests this is a punchy cocktail – spirituous and bittersweet with a long bitter finish. Far from being a crowd-pleaser.

For some reason the nose reminds me a lot of strawberry jam. On the palate you get a cacophony of flavours. The cachaca is obviously front and center, building the body for the entire cocktail. The abricot eau-de-vie is stronger than you think, joining forces with the cachaca. The middle of the palate succumbs to Campari for a bit but surprisingly not overpowering at all. The finish is grapefruit bitterness and dry vermouth. I really like this cocktail. It let's all ingredients have their place.
