A Guide to Brazilian Drinks

Brazil's national drink is the caipirinha: cachaça, lime, sugar and ice, with the maracujá caipirinha as the most popular variation. Quentão is the hot spiced version for the June festivals. Without alcohol, guaraná soda outsells cola in Brazil, chimarrão is the yerba mate of the south, and Brazilian coffee is the cafezinho poured after every meal.
