📜 History

Maracujá (passion fruit) holds special significance in Brazilian culture—the fruit grows abundantly throughout the country and appears in countless desserts, juices, and cocktails. The Batida de Maracujá harnesses this beloved fruit's intense, aromatic flavor, balancing its natural tartness with sweetness. Like other Batidas, this version evolved from beachside vendors and casual bars where fresh tropical fruits were combined with cachaça. The passion fruit's complexity makes this perhaps the most sophisticated of the traditional Batidas.
