📜 History

The Batida de Morango belongs to Brazil's beloved batida tradition — blended or shaken drinks combining cachaça with fresh fruit, sometimes enriched with sweetened condensed milk for body and sweetness. In a country abundant with fresh strawberries grown in the southern states, the strawberry batida became one of the most popular variations. The use of sweetened condensed milk as a sweetener, rather than simple syrup or granulated sugar, is a distinctly Brazilian technique that traces to the country's wide use of condensed milk in both cooking and cocktails.
