FAQ

A Passion Fruit Batida is made with 60 ml cachaça (recommended: Cafuné), 15 ml lime juice, 25 ml passion fruit syrup, 15 ml cream of coconut and Crushed ice.
When should you serve a Passion Fruit Batida?
A Passion Fruit Batida fits a barbecue, the beach, a party, a hot day, easy prep and a Brazilian table.
What can I use instead of cachaça?
Cachaça is a Brazilian cane spirit. Without it, the drink is no longer the same recipe. An unaged rhum agricole is the closest stand-in; white rum is a last resort and will taste different.
What is the bartender tip for a Passion Fruit Batida?
Batida starts with lime; passion fruit syrup stands in for pulp and sugar — fruit and sweet in one pour. Cafuné (39%) is the cachaça in the video; another unaged cachaça covers it. Cream of coconut in the Coco López style (the Piña Colada kind), not coconut milk or condensed milk — the coconut just rounds the lime and gives body, without turning into a colada. Without the canned stuff, full-fat coconut milk with sugar covers it. Intense bottled syrup, drop to 20 ml; homemade 1:1 stays at 25 ml. Shake on crushed ice and dump it in: this is not a blender drink. It is not the Pé de Serra (guaraná soda, no coconut), the Coconut Caipirinha (liqueur, no passion fruit), Eu Quero Mais (coconut water in a tall glass), or the Piña Colada (rum and pineapple in a blender).
