Sophisticated Savage

A sour drink with the distinctive flavour of Cachaça. Surprisingly dry given the double measure of liqueur

This was a big miss. Maybe it’s the cachaça I have. (Novo Fogo) I don’t have a lot of experience with cachaça but it’s been fine in other cocktails which likely cover it up more. In this one the harsh, unpleasant 4 day old cut grass funk character of the silver Novo Fogo came through even with the 2 oz of Tuaca which I couldn’t taste over the cachaça. I tried again with the barrel aged Novo Fogo and that was much better, but still not where I would go back to this one.

I added 1/4 oz rich Demerara syrup to this and it was much, much better! Helped bring out the Tuaca which was getting overrun by the cachaça and helped tame the days old rotting cut grass funk.
