Upper Cut
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 realize we’re heading into the territory of making a different cocktail but… I used your proportions 40/27.5 and then added egg white, floating the angostura on top (I had a pisco sour earlier in the week so it was on my mind). Lovely. Would be perfect in lieu of dessert. We can add a couple of letters and call it the Upper Crust ; )

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?
