Batida
Batida is a Brazilian cocktail made with a national beverage cachaÃÆ'§a . In Portuguese, batida means shaken or milkshake . It is made with cachaÃÆ'§a, fruit juice (or coconut milk), and sugar. It can be mixed or shaken with ice.
In Rio de Janeiro and SÃ £ o Paulo, the beat is traditionally presented with feijoada.
Variations are made by adding sweetened condensed milk or sour cream.
Outside Brazil, these drinks are generally made with vodka, not cachaÃÆ'§a.
The most common fruits used in Batida are lemon, passion fruit and coconut.
Rabo-de-galo
Rabo-de-galo , meaning "chicken tail" (in Portuguese Brazilian cocktail is called coquetel ), is a Brazilian drink made from cachaÃÆ' §a and red vermouth. It is also known as TraÃÆ'§ado, the Portuguese word for the mix. Or, it is known as a mixture of "everything you have in the bar" in some places. It can be questioned whether the proportion in rabo-de-galo was ever formally established. Most bartenders will only "widen" two ingredients, adjusting the proportions to the tastes of the customers. A very common version requires 2/3 cachaÃÆ'§a and 1/3 vermouth. Rabo-de-galo is usually served straight in a large shot glass. Popular variation in SÃÆ'Â £ Paulo, Brazil replaces vermouth with Cynar, an Italian bitter bitter beverage flavored with artichokes.
Caju Amigo (Friendly Clay)
Caju Amigo , also known as Cajuzinho (Little Mete), is a Brazilian drink made from cachaÃÆ'§a and cashew juice. In some places, a piece of mente is inserted into the drinker's mouth with a pinch of salt, chewed without swallowing, and a cachaÃÆ'§a injection is thrown back by swallowing the fruit and drinks at the same time.
QuentÃÆ'Â £ (Hot Stuff)
QuentÃÆ' Â £ o , which means "very hot" or "great hot", is a hot Brazilian drink made of cachaÃÆ'§a and spices. Often presented during the celebration known as Festas Juninas. The sugar is firstly marinated with spices (whole cloves, cinnamon sticks and pieces of ginger) and orange peel (oranges and lime). This mixture is then boiled with water for 10 minutes. CachaÃÆ'§a added and boiled for another 5 minutes.
It is very common in the southern most part of Brazil to use red wine instead of cachaÃÆ'§a, the main ingredient of QuentÃÆ'Â £ o, since this region is the largest wine producer in Brazil.
As the name suggests, it was meant to be served hot - ideally to be served outside at a social gathering on a cold night, near the fireplace. Ginger also adds a warm sensation in the drink. Gingery flavor should be very distinctive, high tone cloves should be present as well. Nutmeg is an optional ingredient, used in several recipes.
Leite de OnÃÆ'§a (Jaguar Milk)
Leite de onÃÆ'§a (Jaguar's milk) is a cold Brazilian drink made from cachaÃÆ'§a and condensed milk. It is very cute and has a very friendly aroma that evokes the atmosphere of Festa Junina's home. It is not easy to change materials and achieve the same result because it feels very strange.
Usually served cold, in plain, unadorned mugs (though often cinnamon or chocolate powder sprinkled) so it looks like milk at first glance.
Royce (Shaken)
Royce is an American cocktail made with the national spirit of Brazilian cachaÃÆ'§a. This cocktail is named in honor of Royce Gracie, a great Brazilian jiu-jitsu warrior.
