The Macunaíma
The Macunaíma is a perfect example of balance, showing how barrel-aged cachaça’s grassy funk can play beautifully with the cool, minty bitterness of Fernet Branca. It’s an unexpected combination that creates a wonderfully complex and incredibly refreshing sour. A true modern classic worth shaking up.
