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!
