This is indeed a batida. A Caipirinha which I also love is not "batida" which means shaken. They are both amazing. Having you tried a coconut batida? Love them too.

Thanks, urbanideas. No, I have never tried one with coconut, but I bet it would be delicious.

Is there a difference between this and caipirinha?

You know, Hummusit, I don't know. This is what my friend Iara called our drink. If I find out something, I will get back to you....but am off to a baking course up in Vermont.

I found one article that talks about the fuzzy interesting origins of both drinks, but with no firm facts:

So it appears that the batida came first, regionally associated with Brazil while the 'caipira' himself, inhabitant of the interior of Brazil, traditionally associated with the regions of Minas Gerais and São Paulo.
