Batida de Pumpkin

Brazil is famously known for Caipirinhas (Brazil’s national drink) and cachaça (Brazil’s national spirit), but there are many other types of drinks cachaça is delicious in besides Caipirinhas. A Batida is a Brazilian tropical fruit cocktail made with cachaça. In Portuguese, batida means shaken or milkshake. Batidas are traditionally made with cachaça, fruit juice (or coconut milk) and sugar. The drink can be made blended or shaken with ice.
