As a Brazilian I love cocktails with cachaƧa. Itās worth searching for good quality cachaƧa brands (5000+ in Brazil, but abroad there are good choices such as Leblon or AvuĆ”). This cocktail is much better with Amburana aged cachaƧa. Swapping the syrup for honey works Very well too. Other bitters, or a blend of different ones crentes other distinct profile as well.
