Brazilian Old Fashioned (a.k.a. “Antiquado”)
You’ve had an Old Fashioned, but not in Brazil.
- 2 oz Novo Fogo Barrel-Aged Cachaça
- 0.5 oz cinnamon syrup
- 2 dashes of Scrappy’s Chocolate Bitters
Add the cinnamon syrup to the bottom of the glass. Nearly fill the glass with ice, then add cachaça and the bitters. Stir and fill the glass with ice. Twist an orange peel over the glass and then drop it in. Fique tranquilo, amigo.
Barrel-Aged Cachaça
This aged spirit bakes the banana notes from the un-aged cachaça in 53-gallon American oak barrels that have been taken apart, sanded, and re-toasted. The heat and humidity of the rainforest changes the spirit to the flavors of banana bread, with notes of chocolate, cinnamon bark, coffee, and black pepper.
