FAQ
What is in a Beach Umbrella?
A Beach Umbrella is made with 60 ml cachaça (recommended: Quero Chuva), 22.5 ml banana cachaça (recommended: Quero Chuva Banana), 22.5 ml lime juice, 15 ml pineapple juice, Ice and Nutmeg.
When should you serve a Beach Umbrella?
A Beach Umbrella fits the beach, a party, a hot day 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 Beach Umbrella?
A tropical cachaça sour, served up. Quero Chuva is the cachaça in the video; another unaged cachaça covers it. The description's "banana liqueur" is the catalog's Quero Chuva Banana, already sweetened — that is why there is no syrup. A dry banana liqueur covers the sweet and loses the cane. Two bottles: the cachaça and the banana one. Lime, not lemon. Pineapple juice, not syrup. Double strain into a cold glass; the nutmeg is grated to order, on top. It is not the Nanica de Ouro (rum and Quero Chuva, no pineapple), the Caipirinha (muddled lime in the glass), or the Piña Colada (rum and coconut in a blender).
