Batida de Coco - Brazilian Coconut Cocktail
Batida de Coco is a creamy Brazilian cocktail blending coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, and cachaça, with coconut water to balance sweetness and strength. The drink is frothy from blending and served chilled over ice, often garnished with toasted coconut for added texture and aroma. It's a rich, tropical beverage with smooth coconut flavors and a mild alcoholic kick.
