Batidas

I did some cursory research on batidas, which is the other drink that specifies cachaca instead of rum (other than caipirinhas, in case you missed it). It turns out that the batida is a category of tropical fruit cocktails rather than just one drink. This website tells a little bit more about them and gives some recipes. This website has less information but simpler recipes for both the caipirinha and a couple of batidas. It seems the tricky part is locating the proper juices such as cashew juice and passion fruit juice. I have a Mexican grocery on my block so I should be in luck. There are dozens of juices there whose fruits I don't recognize and without any English translation on the boxes I was at a loss as to what they were. Now that I'll know a couple of words to look for, I'll finally have an excuse to try them out.
