No list of food in Rio de Janeiro would be complete without mentioning the famous Caipirinha. This iconic Brazilian cocktail is made with cachaça (a distilled spirit made from sugarcane), lime, sugar, and ice. It is a refreshing and tangy drink that perfectly complements the vibrant atmosphere of Rio de Janeiro. Whether you enjoy it at a beachside kiosk or a trendy bar, sipping on a Caipirinha is a quintessential Rio experience.
