Brazilian

A. country where cachaça has been distilled since the 1500s, the Caipirinha was muddled in São Paulo as a country flu remedy, café coado runs through a flannel filter, açaí na tigela came down from the Amazon, guaraná do Amazonas was the original soda, mate gelado is poured cold on every Rio beach, and the boteco is the single most important institution. We pulled together every drink worth knowing — eight glasses, deep — from the donos who guard the recipe and the regions that wrote the rules.
