We think that it's a bit of a mistake to use Cachaca in spirit-forward drinks such as this one, and prefer to use a dark Rum. As commenter Mike says, "The cachaca was nowhere to be found". That said, the drink does have balance, but what does it want to express? We're not sure.
This has become my favourite drink over the last six months or so. I personally omit the simple syrup, as the punt e mes and curacao are plenty sweet already. The grassy freshness of the cachaca and the bitter notes compliment each other so well, I urge anyone to try this drink!
