What it is

Brazil's blended beach party: cachaça whirred with fruit and condensed milk into a creamy, tropical shake for grown-ups. Ingredients: cachaça, fruit — coconut, passion fruit (maracujá), strawberry or pineapple — sweetened condensed milk, ice, sometimes a touch of lime or coconut milk. Method: 1) Blend cachaça, fruit and condensed milk with ice until thick and frothy. 2) Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately, with a straw. The experience: a boozy tropical milkshake — lush, sweet and refreshing, led by whichever fruit went into the blender. History: “batida” means “beaten” or “shaken” in Portuguese, and batidas became fixtures of Brazil's beach kiosks and festas in the 20th century; the batida de coco, snowy white and coconut-rich, is the beloved classic of the family.
