Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Brazilian
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, chopped
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup cachaça or vodka
- Ice cubes
- Pineapple slices for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Chop the fresh pineapple into small pieces, ensuring you have about 1 cup of chopped pineapple. Set aside.
- In a blender, combine the chopped pineapple, 1/2 cup of coconut milk, and 1/4 cup of sugar. The sugar will help to balance the flavors and enhance the sweetness of the drink.
- Add 1/2 cup of cachaça or vodka to the blender. Cachaça is the traditional Brazilian spirit used in this drink, but vodka is a suitable alternative if you prefer.
- Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender. This will chill the drink and give it a refreshing texture.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and well combined. You want to ensure that the pineapple is fully pureed and the ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Once blended, taste the mixture. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a little more sugar and blend again until dissolved.
- Pour the batida into two glasses, filling them about three-quarters full. This allows room for garnish and ensures a perfect serving size.
- For garnish, take a few slices of fresh pineapple and place them on the rim of each glass or float them on top of the drink for a decorative touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Brasil Batida de Abacaxi com Coco!
Tips
- Choose Ripe Pineapple: For the best flavor, use a ripe pineapple. Look for one that has a sweet aroma and is slightly soft to the touch.
- Chill Your Ingredients: To enhance the refreshing nature of this drink, chill your coconut milk and cachaça (or vodka) in advance. This will make your Batida even cooler and more enjoyable.
- Adjust the Sweetness: Taste the mixture before serving. If you like it sweeter, feel free to add more sugar, but do it gradually to avoid overpowering the natural flavors.
- Experiment with Garnishes: While fresh pineapple slices are a classic garnish, consider adding a sprig of mint or a sprinkle of toasted coconut for an extra touch of flair.
- Blend for the Perfect Texture: Make sure to blend the ingredients on high speed until completely smooth. A well-blended Batida will have a delightful creamy texture.
- Serve Immediately: This drink is best enjoyed fresh. Serve it right after blending to maintain its frosty consistency and vibrant flavor.
