Peach Caipirinha
Be sure to use ripe peach in this tart, refreshing spin on the classic Caipirinha.
Sparkling Pomegranate Caipirinha
The Caipirinha is a bit like a Daiquiri, except that it uses sugarcane–based cachaça instead of rum, and whole lime pieces instead of just the juice. It's a bold, tangy, and husky drink, even more so when gussied up with ruby-red pomegranate and festive sparkling wine.

Mai Tai

Mojito
Good white rum, lime, and fresh mint: A classic mojito is a crisp and refreshing highball, not a sickly-sweet cliché.
The Periodista
The Periodista is very easy to love. Starting with the basic rum-lime-sugar building blocks of a daiquiri, the Periodista is gussied up with the addition of two liqueurs: Cointreau, the dry orange liqueur that lends crispness and elegance to most drinks it encounters, and the aforementioned apricot liqueur, which makes the drink richer more alluring.
Cinnamon-Tamarind Margarita
This margarita is super tart and fresh, with the slightly earthy notes of tamarind and cinnamon coming through. Use a good 100% agave tequila, blanco or reposado. The spice of the tequila echoes beautifully though this cocktail, and a little Cointreau adds a hint of orangey sweetness.
Mojito
Mojito - arguably the most refreshing cocktail in the world!! Made with white rum, fresh mint leaves, sugar syrup, club soda and limes.
Fresh, tart, and boozy, a caipirinha feels like the tropics in a glass.

Brazilian-style Peel And Eat Shrimp with Fried Garlic (Camarao ao Alho)
I wanted to eat everything in Brazil.

Here's how to make them at home.

This cheesy and addictive South American bread goes by many names, but whether you call it pão de queijo, cuñapes, or pan de bono, it's always equally delicious.
