Funky. Amazing. Underrated. Cachaça aged in Bálsamo and you really understand why is elixir. Tip from a native Brazilian

Excellent variation on a Brasil. Honey syrup is a nice change to simple sugar syrup.

Very enjoyable. For the record, "élixir" is masculine in French, so it should Grand Élixir. Not that it matters much, native people might be confused too!

Better the name is correct, so I have amended it. Many thanks, Jacques.
