Where we are, Cachaca can sometimes be difficult to lay one's hands on. When that is so, we substitute 45ml Havana Club Original + 5ml Rhum JM for the 50ml Cachaca. Not the same drink, of course, but perhaps a similar vibe.

How on earth have I missed this one? Just perfect following the recipe as published. It’s a shame it looks a little flat without ice or a garnish. (maybe I’ll pimp it up next time with something to make it look better🤔)

Goes gangbusters with clairin in lieu of cachaça. Funky fruity fun front leads to lingering lip-smacking complexity.

Find a cachaca you love (for me, Velho Barreiro) and this drink is heaven. I disagree that the fernet overpowers in any way - even with 7.5ml each of fernet and cynar it's still only slightly bitter. I think my preferred way might be a barspoon of each though.

Being a fan of Fernet, I have to admit that in this case, I’ve found that only a dash of Fernet and taking Cynar for the rest of it worked way better for my taste.

Amazing drink, although it took me three sips to fully appreciate it. I used Ypióca Reserva, an aged, smokey Cachaça. The recipe says 'no garnish' but a dried lemon wheel may fit very well.

Excellent receipe ! I just found the glass too large without ice ! I have 29 cl old fashioned glass but the quantity of cocktail is comparable to a Pti’Punch…

This is exceptional !!!
