3.74 / 5
The cocktail Brazil is a vibrant and tropical drink that encompasses the flavors of its namesake country. Made with a combination of coconut rum, vodka, lime juice, and orange juice, this cocktail is both refreshing and indulgent. The sweetness from the sugar adds a touch of balance to the tanginess of the citrus juices, while the mint liqueur adds a layer of herbal freshness. Sipping on a Brazil cocktail will transport you to the sunny beaches and lush landscapes of Brazil, making it the perfect summer drink. It's also a great option for those who enjoy a fruity yet slightly boozy cocktail.
