“Batida” is Portuguese for “beaten”, as in whipped, and this style of tropical frozen drink hails from the steamy climes of Brazil. Sweetened with condensed milk, they’re a slightly creamy, tropical delight that begs for a little paper umbrella and a Shakira sing-along. Traditionally, batidas are made with the Brazilian style of rum called cachaca (pronounced “ka-SHA-sa”), but feel free to use white rum if you prefer, and any kind of tropical fruit your heart desires.
