Batida
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Batida is one of the many Brazilian cocktails made with the national alcoholic drink, called cachaça. In Portuguese batida means shaken or milkshake.
[edit] Traditional recipe
- 1 part of fruit juice (or coconut milk)
- 1 table spoon of sugar
- 2 parts of cachaça
Place all the components in a blender and blend very briefly, just to mixture all the components. Serve cold or in a tall glass with ice.
An optional recipe is made adding sweet condensed milk and/ or sour cream along with the fruit juice.
Like almost all of the cachaça made drinks, some people prefere to replace the cachaça with vodka.
The most popular batida flavours are passion fruit and coconut.
