nertz!

1 1/2 oz Cachaça (Seleta Gold)
3/4 oz Pineapple Juice
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
1/2 oz Grenadine
2 dash Regan's Orange Bitters
1 dash Angostura Bitters

Shake with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with an orange twist.
Two Fridays ago after my work shift, I reached for Sarah Baird's New Orleans Cocktails for a refreshing way to end the evening. There, I found the Nertz! by Scott Stierwatt from his time at Cane & Table as his Brazilian riff on the State Street Punch from Stanley Clisby Arthur's Famous New Orleans Drinks & How to Mix'em. In the glass, it began with orange oil over grassy funk and a fruity note from the pineapple or grenadine on the nose. Next, lemon and pomegranate's berry came through on the sip, and the swallow shared grassy rum, pineapple, and berry flavors.
