Sometimes blended drinks get a bad rap for being overly sweet, but not these beauties. They’re Batidas (Brazilian frozen cocktails) and they’re well-balanced and made with fresh ingredients so it’s more like the perfect frozen treat on a warmer day. Whether you’re on spring break in some tropical locale, or just dusting off the grill and enjoying some spring sun, these make for a fantastic spring drink! Cheers!
