“Batida” translates to “shaken” or “crash” which is why this cocktail is shaken and served over crushed ice. A refreshing tropical drink that strikes the right balance of sweetness, the coconut batida is a popular drink that tastes even better when enjoyed poolside.

What could possibly make the caipirinha even more delicious? Bubbles! Perfect for those Sunday lunches in Brazil (or brunch in the United States), the bellini caipirini beautifully marries sparkling wine with the succulent flavors of fresh peaches and lime.

In Brazil, lemons are rare, while limes are bountiful. So it’s no surprise that “lemonade” is made with fresh limes. Add sugar and sweetened condensed milk to fresh lime juice for the perfect Brazilian version of lemonade.

Cozy up under a blanket before sipping this traditional cocktail –a Brazilian version of mulled red wine (Malbec is preferred), simmered for hours with classic winter spices and citrus.
