Cachaca Cocktails-Part 2
After the success of the first night creating Cachaca cocktails (part 1) we decided to go back to the guys at Haycock & Tailbar Associates and see what they could do with some more awesome Cachacas. Once again Robert Squire (you can read more about Robert here) and Rob ‘Badger’ Hughes (you can read more about him here) were behind the bar so we were in great hands. We took several new Cachacas including some easily available in the UK. 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
Once again they tasted the Cachacas and instantly started knocking out some tasty drinks! We even had a couple made by Brandon Walton and Natasha Francis-Flores.
The night included 4 expressions of Novo Fogo served in cocktails as the recommended serve.
As Weber Haus seemed to be a favourite we also set them a challenge to make the best Weber Haus cocktail!
