Tips

•For the best flavor, use unsweetened passion fruit juice or freshly strained juice; bottled sweetened juice can make the cocktail overly sugary.
•If you do not have a blender, shake the liquid ingredients with crushed ice very hard, then strain over fresh ice; the texture will be less creamy but still delicious.
•A classic batida is meant to be served very cold and freshly blended, so do not make it far in advance.
•For a lighter version, reduce the condensed milk to 70 g; the drink will be less rich and slightly more tart.

Steps

1
Chill 2 short glasses or small tumblers if possible. Measure all the ingredients so the drink blends quickly and stays very cold.
2
Add the cachaca, passion fruit juice, sweetened condensed milk, and 300 g ice cubes to a blender.

3
Blend for 15-20 seconds, just until smooth, frothy, and lightly thickened. Do not overblend or the ice will dilute the drink too much. Taste and, if you prefer a sharper drink, add a splash more cachaca; for a creamier style, add a little more condensed milk.

Origin & History

Batida is a classic Brazilian family of cocktails made by blending cachaca with fruit juice, sugar, or condensed milk. Versions with maracuja became especially popular because passion fruit is abundant in Brazil and its tart perfume balances the spirit beautifully. Creamy batidas are common at beach bars, casual parties, and home gatherings.
