History
Originating from Brazil, in Portuguese, Batida means ‘shaken’ or ‘milkshake’, the word can also mean ‘crash’. Along with the Caipirinha, the Batida could be considered the country’s national drink. Since the Batida is essentially a creamy, blended Caipirinha at heart, we only really have that history to go on.
There are many theories around how the Caipirinha came to be — one of which suggests that a variation of the drink was used to help cure the Spanish Flu epidemic in the early 20th century and likely contained garlic, honey, lime and other strong natural substances. A slight variation of this is still used to this day to help cure the common cold.
