This inspiration came to me through the Death and Co cocktail book, which if you are an aspiring home bartender or a professional, this book needs to be on your shelf. No ifs, ands or buts! So with the Sugar Snap Pea infusion in mind, I knew a delicious rum would work with this flavour. The funny thing is, Cachaca was an after thought here, as I had initially wanted to infuse with a white Caribbean rum, but I ran out. I’m not going to lie, I’m happy that was the case, as it forced me to use Leblon’s Cachaca rum and I fell in love with cachaca all over again. You can find this infusion first used here in the Snap Pea White Manhattan cocktail! Cheers!
