Determined to find a tasty cachaça cocktail beyond the ubiquitous Caipirinha, we searched high and low (and asked our Brazilian co-worker). We settled on this batida: a spiked fruit shake made with guava and condensed milk. Within a few sips, you’ll be transported to the beaches of Brazil.
This recipe was featured as part of our Drinks Around the World story.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 (11-1/2-ounce) can guava juice
- 1/2 cup condensed milk
- 3 ounces cachaça
- 1 1/2 cups ice
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place all ingredients except ice in a blender and blend on high for 30 seconds. Add ice and blend until just smooth. Serve immediately.
In Texican cooking we have Ponches(punches) made with whole milk or evaporated milk(pet) mixed with cinanmon, vanilla, raw egg, sugar and sometimes raisins and wiskey. can be served warm or cold.
We also have batadas(beaten/ shakes) de pina(pineapple). Whole milk, egg whites and sugar is blended till frothy, then pineapple is added and blended till smooth. served cool.
Is that sweetened condensed milk? Sounds awfully sweet to me considering the guava juice is so sweet.
