Didn't have any Cachaca, so used Resperado tequila. Very nice indeed similar to a naked and famous, the basil works so well. Delicious 😋

Honestly, a fantastic cocktail. I like to serve my cocktails dumped, rather than served up, and the extra infusion of basil was really nice.

Would an absinthe rinse or replacing with green chartreuse work well?

A little absinthe influence could work well, but I'd stick to Yellow Chartreuse.

This is great! I agree that your choice of Cachaça will impact the end result. I used Paranubes, and honestly it imparts an aged Cachaça vibe with strong cane aroma, albeit with a higher ABV. Great drink!

I am not overall convinced. I think the quality of the drink depends more on the Cachaça used than the relations.

This is another of my all time favorites. I quite enjoy it with 1/2 oz of the cachaça being barrel aged. I also tried a variation with tequila which was not good.

I tend to agree with others. I had it tonight, and thought it was lovely. But I think I will try upping the cachaca and lowering the agave syrup next time - I would say not by too much though. I definitely wouldn't add bitters.

Really like the herbal nature of this cocktail. Did read the reviews and upped the cachaca to 1 3/4 oz and halved the agave syrup. Still found it a bit sweet for us, so we added 4 drops of Difford's Daiquiri Bitters. Still had a nice sweet touch, but the herbal notes came out stronger. Delightlful.

It’s nice but not great. A bit like an undercooked Last Word/Final Argument. But I could drink two or three of these, unlike the others ???

I like it very much. However, it's a bit too sweet and lacks a bit of kick. I think that as in the basil smash, it is better to increase the amount of Cachaca to 60 ml and decrease the agave syrup to 5 ml,

Flat out delicious.

I was preparing this this evening and though hmm Cachaca and Chartreuse, what can go wrong #sarcasm... and to our surprise this was so refreshing and nice, must be even better on a hot summer day. Cheers
