Batida de Milho Verde

Cocktail Description

Imagine summer county fairs and golden cornfields distilled into liquid form—that's the Batida de Milho Verde in a glass.

This playful Collins cocktail brings together the grassy, vegetal notes of Novo Fogo Chameleon Cachaça with the sweet starchiness of canned corn and the rich creaminess of condensed milk for a surprisingly harmonious flavor profile. The drink balances earthy cachaça with sweet corn and velvety milk, creating a dessert-like cocktail with tropical undertones and comforting familiarity. It's remarkably simple to make—just throw everything in a blender with crushed ice and dust with cinnamon—making it perfect for casual entertaining when you want something unexpected. Try serving this at late-summer gatherings, backyard barbecues, or as a unique brunch cocktail when you're tired of mimosas. The Batida de Milho Verde pairs beautifully with grilled foods, particularly those with a touch of sweetness like glazed pork or corn bread, and makes a delightful companion to custard-based desserts.
