The 9 Cachaça Cocktails You Need To Try Now

Now that the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics are here, we have all things brazil on our mind – especially (duh) cachaça cocktails. These drinks are refreshing and deliciously boozy – we recommend you go try ’em all.

Caipirinha Carioca at Bar 54

Bar 54 at the Hyatt Times Square gets into the Olympic spirit with the Caipirinha Carioca, a mix of cachaça, simple syrup, pineapple juice and muddled lime wedges, topped with a spoonful of sugar and a slice of pineapple.

Sicilian Sol at L’Amico

A cachaça cocktail with an Italian vibe, the Sicilian Sol blends the Brazilian spirit with caffo Amaretto, lemon, bitters and Prosecco.

Telenovela Cocktail at Solomon & Kuff’s Rum Hall

This Harlem hangout gets in on the cachaça action with this inventive cocktail, a blend of cachaça, mezcal, cilantro, passion fruit and lime. Yum!

Kaffirinha Sorbet Sparkler at SUSHISAMBA

We have loved SUSHISAMBA for years and years – and now, another reason to love the Brazilian-influenced sushi joint: the drinks! Not only will the West Village spot be streaming the games and serving a variety of caipirinhas but we are really digging the Kaffirinha Sorbet Sparkler, a frozen treat made with Kaffir lime sorbet, cachaça and a sparkling wine floater.

Gingerinha at Delicatessen

The caipirinha gets a makeover at this Soho eatery, with Leblon cachaça, house-made ginger syrup and ginger beer mixed together for a delicious boozy sip.

Mango Blackberry Caipirinha at Crave Fishbar

We are obsessed with this fruity tipple at Crave Fishbar made with Novo Fogo Silver cachaça, fresh mango, fresh blackberry, mint, lime and simple syrup. We dare you to try and have just one.

Passion Fruit Caipirinha at Refinery Rooftop

Refinery Hotel is getting into the Olympic spirit, hosting a Leblon Casa da Cachaça pop-up at Hatbox, featuring cachaça caipirinhas and boozy popsicles from My Sweet while showing the games. Meanwhile, the Refinery Rooftop will have a special Passion Fruit Caipirinha for the month of August.

Açaí Carnival at Impero Caffe

Head to Impero Caffe at Innside New York and check out the Açaí Carnival cocktail, with Poseidon vodka, Cointreau, fresh lime juice, cranberry juice and açaí puree, garnished with mint sprig and blueberries.

Brazilian Mango Cooler at McCarren Hotel & Pool

We love poolside cocktails and the Brazilian Mango Cooler at McCarren Hotel & Pool is tops. Made with Avua cachaça prata, Giffard Banana du Brasil, lemon juice, simple syrup and mango juice, served with a side of sunshine.
