Brazil—South America’s largest and most populous country—is the home of a lot of fun festivals and crazy parties. One of the main elements of all of this activity are the cocktails served to revelers, lifting the spirits of everyone and creating an unmatchable atmosphere.

While you might not be at a Brazilian party while being stuck wherever you live, there are plenty of cocktails from Brazil that you can either make at home or find on bar/restaurant menus. Here are some of the best ones that you should seek out!

Caipirinha

The Caipirinha is a Brazilian classic, which has become popular and well-known all around the world. This mixture of a liquor made from sugar cane known as cachaça, sugar, and lime slices makes a sweet, sour, and potent drink that is completely irresistible.

Leite de Onça

Leite de Onça is a cocktail that also contains the famous cachaça—but it is completely different when compared with a Caipirinha. This drink combines cachaça with cocoa liqueur, milk, and condensed milk to make a cocktail that tastes strangely like a chocolate milkshake!

Espanhola

Finally, if you’re looking for Brazil’s answer to sangria—an Espanhola is for you. Red, dry wine is blended with sweetened condensed milk and pineapple chunks in a blender or food processor, resulting in a fruity and sweet drink that resembles a fruit smoothie. Yum!

Rio de Janeiro is a fantastic global city full of sights to see and things to do. Its gastronomic scene is one of its main attractions, as this Brazilian megalopolis is the home of a mix of both world-class restaurants and enticing street food. One of the best restaurants that you absolutely must visit while in Rio is the Plage Cafe, one of the world’s most unique places to eat brunch.

Located inside the Parque Lage at the foot of the Corcovado mountain in the city’s Jardim Botanico neighborhood, this is one of the only places you’ll be able to eat brunch inside of a glorious mansion.

This restaurant is located inside the former residence of an early 20th century Brazilian architect and his singer wife and features a gorgeous atrium containing a small pond, which is where diners eat at the Plage Cafe.

The Plage Cafe is mostly known for its excellent brunch, although it does feature some lunch plates as well. Eggs benedict, fresh Brazilian fruit juices, and house specialties such as their own specialty omelettes and hamburgers are some of the other highlights that can be found here.

Anyone who is looking for a stunning and unique brunch or lunch experience should add the Plage Cafe to their list of places to eat in Rio. Happy eating!

Address: Rua Jardim Botânico, 414 (inside Lage Park)

Hours: 9 am to 5 pm, Monday-Sunday
