Coco Batida

Coco Batida

Leblon 

Cachaça, Brazil’s immensely popular national spirit, is similar to rum but is distilled from 100% sugar cane juice as opposed to molasses. “Cachaça is to Brazil what tequila is to Mexico,” says Steve Luttmann, the founder of Leblon, a major cachaça brand. Try the spirit in this frozen coconut drink, its creaminess providing a sweet counterpart to the spirit’s grassy notes.


Ingredients

  • 2 ounces cachaça (such as Leblon)
  • 2 ounces coconut cream 
  • 2 ounces condensed milk 
  • 1/2 ounces simple syrup 
  • Garnish: shredded toasted coconut

Steps

  1. Add all ingredients into a blender with 1 cup of cracked ice, and blend until smooth.

  3. Garnish with shredded toasted coconut.
