ABOUT
I am not exaggerating when I say that this is easily the best cereal milk punch I’ve had. This one was created by my friend Isaiah LaBelle (@onesipclub). It tastes like breakfast in a glass with cozy cinnamon from Cinnamon Toast Crunch and roasted coffee notes. The cachaça aged in amburana wood adds spice and depth while Italicus layers in floral citrus that rounds out the sweetness. I already finished this batch so a larger one is definitely in order. And let’s be honest, Cinnamon Toast Crunch will always hold the title for best cereal. Cheers y’all!
