Again, I used husk cane spirit from tumbulgum. It is a very good cocktail, but to my taste it is not really like caipirinha because muddling the limes puts much more zest into a caipirinha. This is really like a daiquiri with funk. I preferred a mint garnish as well.

Can I substitute the bitter with Angostura's or should I rather skip it?

Better to omit the bitters rather than use Angostura.

Sophisticated maybe but, erm…a Caipirinha is more fun!

You really, really need to like the funk of Agricole cane syrup ruhms. We used Clairin Sajous instead of Cachaca as I like the Haiti version better. Sajous comes in at 111 proof. Did add 2 drops of Difford's Daiquiri bitters. Was very good, but need a few minutes to breathe. First out it is a bit like lighter fluid and rubber. Softens to a delightful cocktail with still a definite Agricole funk kick.

Thanks for reminding me of this cocktail, John. It's been years, probably decades, since I last made one. I've tweaked the proportions and added the all-important Daiquiri Bitters.
