Saúde! Drinks from Brazil: recognise caipirinha, cachaça, guaraná, sugarcane juice, coconut water, passion-fruit juice, chimarrão, batida, cafezinho and vitamina. Good to know: A cocktail of cachaça, lime, sugar and ice. It is the unofficial national drink. A clear spirit from fresh sugarcane juice. It is the base of the caipirinha. A sweet soda from the caffeine-rich guaraná fruit. In Brazil almost as popular as cola. Fresh-pressed juice (caldo de cana). Often served with a squeeze of lime. Água de coco, straight from the chilled nut. A classic on the beach. A fruity, tart juice of the passion fruit. It is also said to be calming. A hot mate infusion, sipped through a metal straw. In southern Brazil the gourd is shared. A creamy cocktail of cachaça and fruit juice. The batida de coco is a favourite. A small, heavily sweetened black coffee. It is offered everywhere as a welcome. A thick fruit-and-milk shake, often with avocado or banana. A popular breakfast drink. And it is exactly such details that truly bring a subject to life.
