*See below for a sample recipe: Brazil's Passion Fruit Caipirinha!

The award-winning food bloggers from Muy Bueno and Sweet Life have teamed up to create this all-new collection of Latin-American cocktails.
Yvette and Vianney's cocktails—featuring fresh-squeezed juices and homemade mixers—have been so popular that they’ve decided to devote a whole book to them!
 
Latin Twist is the first book to celebrate the signature cocktails of 18 Latin American countries and Spain in one volume. It delves into the history of each country’s special ingredients, wines and liquors, and includes traditional drinks as well as the authors’ original recipes. Try a luscious Passion Fruit Caipirinha from Brazil, Chile’s fruity Borgoña, or Argentina’s national drink, the deceptively simple Fernet con Cola.
 
Whether you are hosting a holiday get-together or backyard fiesta, there is a drink in this book for every season. Clear instructions and gorgeous color photos make it easy to mix up a glass or pitcher of crowd-pleasing cocktails.
 
  • 97 recipes from 19 countries
  • Brief historical facts about the alcohols used in each country
  • Illustrated cocktail map
  • “Setting the Bar” guide for at-home bartending
  • Gorgeous color photography throughout

Get into the 'Spirit' of the Rio Olympics

Picture
Cheer on Team USA with a classic Brazilian cocktail! The caipirinha is made with cachaça, the nation's signature spirit made from cane sugar. This recipe from Latin Twist uses passion fruit as nod to the abundant tropical fruits of Brazil and its Amazonian rainforest. You can substitute with a tropical fruit nectar if unavailable.

Passion Fruit Caipirinha

[Serves 2]

2 limes, cut into wedges

4 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 passion fruits, halved
1 cup pineapple juice

5 ounces cachaça


1. Divide lime wedges and sugar between 2 glasses and muddle. Scoop the passion fruit pulp with seeds into the glasses.

2. Add pineapple juice and cachaça, stir and top with ice.
