Recently we decided to share our love of Cachaca with the guys at Haycock & Tailbar Associates. Not only is it good to share but we were interested to see what cocktails they would suggest or could create using their experience and expertise. Robert Squire (you can read more about Robert here) and Rob Badger were behind the bar so we were in great hands. We took a variety of Cachacas, some young, some old and also a selection showcasing the different woods used to age the spirit. You can read a bit more about Cachaca in some of my previous articles #rumfamily : Favourite Cachaca Advocate-Leszek Wedzicha, Cachaça, more than a Caipirinha

Having tasted the Cachacas it was interesting to observe the thought process matching them to classics or in building the cocktails using some of the notes detected in the Cachaca and then using knowledge of pairings to create the drink.

The results can be seen below:
