Brazilian Drink
A country that pours from sugarcane and the sun. Cachaça distilled in a Minas Gerais alambique since the 1500s, Caipirinha muddled at an Ipanema kiosk, café coado strained through a flannel filter at a São Paulo padaria, açaí in a Bahia bowl, guaraná from the Amazon, mate gelado on a Rio beach, Brahma at a Vila Madalena boteco — a bar built on sugarcane, lime, ice, and the unbroken ritual of saúde.
