About
This cocktail was created by the legendary Simon Difford (@diffordsguide) in January 2022 at the Clocktower in Rye, England. The name really does most of the work here. Cachaça brings grassy, sugarcane funk, while a touch of overproof Jamaican rum layers in ripe tropical esters and heat. Banana liqueur leans into that character rather than sweetening it, and the sauvignon blanc keeps everything bright and dry.
I adjusted the original ⅔ oz. specs to full and half ounces to better fit U.S. jiggers without changing the balance.Cheers y’all!
