📜 History
The Brasil 66 cocktail takes its name from Sérgio Mendes & Brasil '66, the influential Brazilian jazz and bossa nova band whose recordings brought Brazilian music to international audiences in the 1960s. The drink extends the classic Caipirinha framework by adding orange juice and triple sec, layering a sweet citrus dimension onto the base of cachaça and lime. It is described by Difford's Guide as being reminiscent of an orange-influenced Caipirinha.
