Rust coloured and bittersweet with cachaça and elderflower.
Adapted from a recipe created in 2009 by Jeffrey Morgenthaler in Portland, Oregon, USA. Jeff's original recipe calls for a "generous twist of lemon" rather than orange. On JeffreyMorgenthaler.com, he says this cocktail was "Inspired in part by a gorgeous cocktail created by my good friend Gonçalo de Souza Monteiro, the Comte de Sureau."

Prior to adding the lime, it was overpoweringly sweet and bitter, and difficult to discern any specific ingredient other than the Cachaça.
Once the lime was added the flavours really opened up, and the Elderflower and Aperol were no longer overpowered.
It went from being an absolute slog to drink, to one of my favourites.
