Thread: Brazilian cocktail

Any recommendations on Brazilian cocktails? What is your favorite and how do you make it?

I am familiar with only one Brazilian cocktail - Caiprinha which I believe is the most popular cocktail in Brazil. It is made of lime wedges, sugar and cachaca.

I like Batida de Cupuaçu. Below is a recipe for that cocktail:

50 ml of cupuaçu or soursop juice

25 ml of cachaça

a splash of Nestlé or Parmalat Table Cream

2 ice cubes, crushed

Shake and pour. The table cream, which is considerably thicker than what we call heavy cream, can be found in most supermarkets. Frozen soursop (called guanábana in Spanish) can be found in the Latino or Ethnic section of your supermarket. Frozen cupuaçu pulp can be found in Brazilian markets around the U.S.

Hello Thirsty_traveller,

Welcome, yes there are a lot of Brazilian cocktails here. My favorite is the Capoeira from Bahia. Please see the ingredients below:

1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 small bottle of coconut milk
1/2 cup of Creme de Cacao
1/2 cup of cognac


All you have to do to prepare is put everything in a blender with crushed ice and blend. You will get a smooth drink that can be served at parties. Really good for the Brazilian heat.

And yet. another fine Brazilian cocktail:

Brazilian Rose garnished with a single red rose petal, it's beautiful. The drink itself is a lovely display of premium cachaça (such as Leblon) and the exotic fruitiness of guava, with a hint of orange. The Brazilian Rose makes a stunning display for any elegant or romantic occasion and the sweet taste is just as thrilling as the look.
Ingredients:

* 2 oz Leblon cachaça
* 3 oz guava juice
* splash of triple sec

Preparation:

1. Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
2. Shake well.
3. Strain iinto a chilled cocktail glass.

You just have to try a batida you'll never know what you're missing! Batidas are heavenly mixes of fresh fruit juice and cachaça—the potent sugarcane liquor from Brazil. Usually, the recipe will also call for "leite condensado" (sweetened condensed milk) and/or other liquor.

The most common batidas are made with passion fruit (batida de maracujá), cashew juice (batida de caju), and coconut milk (batida de coco). Fortunately for us, residents of these northern latitudes, these juices and the coconut milk can be found in Latin and Oriental grocers. If you can find the small bottles of Brazilian coconut milk, grab them. It's great stuff. Batidas frequently have humorous names like angels' piss, virgin's sweat, monkey's milk, etc.

I love Margerita´s drink, it is so delicious...mmmmmmm.
