About this Cocktail

Type: Tall Cocktails

The Batida is a traditional Brazilian cocktail, enjoyed throughout the country. Given their abundant supply, pineapples (called 'Abaci' in Portuguese) are also commonly used in cocktails in Brazil.

This sweet cocktail is not as famous outside of Brazil as the Caipirinha, but is just as good. Just like the Caipirinha, it can be made with other fruit, including strawberries or passion fruit. The lemon juice combines really well with the tangy pineapple.

I've had countless of these on my various trips to Brazil and they never disappoint. Fresh pineapple and lemon make for a sweet partnership!! I spent New Years a few hours south of Rio a few years ago and had a wonderful evening drinking batidas all night (not just pineapple though)... fond memories
