This cachaça cocktail almost reminds me of an El Presidente (white rum, blanc vermouth, curaçao, and grenadine) just more complex and with a balanced bitterness. However, upon further consideration, this is clearly a negroni riff, and an excellent one at that! This recipe is also a great excuse to dust off that bottle of celery bitters.
