Cocktail Description

Imagine a cocktail that combines the exotic flair of Brazil with refreshing citrus and warm spices—the Brazilian Breeze delivers exactly that in every sip.

This Collins glass delight showcases Novo Fogo Chameleon Cachaça as its spirited backbone, allowing the distinctive grassy, fruity notes of Brazil's national spirit to shine through. The combination of nutty orgeat syrup and fresh lemon juice creates a perfectly balanced sweet-tart foundation, while a hint of cinnamon adds warming depth and complexity. Topped with spicy ginger ale, the Brazilian Breeze offers layers of flavor that unfold gradually—from initial citrus brightness to a lingering spiced finish.

Perfect for summer gatherings or as a unique brunch cocktail, this drink brings tropical flair to any occasion without being overwhelmingly sweet. The Brazilian Breeze is surprisingly straightforward to make, requiring just a quick shake and strain over crushed ice. It pairs wonderfully with grilled seafood, tropical fruit desserts, or savory Brazilian fare like cheese bread (pão de queijo) or grilled meats.
