Caipirinha
The caipirinha is a national cocktail of Brazil and is enjoyed in restaurants, bars, and many households throughout the country.

.The most popular fresh fruits used to create Caipifrutas are tangerine, lime, kiwi fruit, passion fruit, pineapple, lemon, grapes, mango, cajá, and caju (cashew fruit).

Best wine to have with the churrasco
Sangria, is a delicious, fruit-based wine "punch" with its traditional heritage well rooted in Spain. Typically, Sangria is made with red or white wine, fresh, seasonal fruit and a bit of bubbly water or citrus flavored soda. Easy to drink and a huge hit at summer get togethers - even for those who are not "into wine." While Spain is heralded as the creator of Sangria, countries all over the globe have adapted the recipe to make a fruit-filled wine beverage that is refreshing and easy to drink with a wide variety of foods.
 Malbec was originally one of the minor blending varieties of red Bordeaux, where it now accounts for a tiny proportion of local production. But its home now is well and truly in Argentina, where after more than 100 years of nurturing it has come into its own both as a pure varietal, and blended with Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot.
Malbec grapes are reasonably small, very dark, and juicy. Controlling the fruiting of the vines is important to ensure good concentration of favors. Fortunately, the Argentine wine industry's almost 100% reliance on irrigation (it virtually never rains) gives growers the tools they need to ensure quality fruit.
However, Malbec is fairly sensitive to its climate. In cooler conditions (in Mendoza, this normally means a higher altitude) it is a thick-skinned grape which develops high acidity and tannic content, giving rise to more robust wines. At lower altitudes the grapes have thinner skins, more juice, and produce wines that are lighter-bodied and more suited to drinking young.
Flavors most commonly associated with Malbec include plums, cherries, currants and raspberries. Fruit, as well as color, may be perceived as black or red depending on the origin of the fruit, as well as the wine-making style. Argentine Malbec is generally liberally oaked, and even the earlier drinking styles reflect the resulting flavors – vanilla, spice, as well as occasional tobacco notes – well.
