What To Expect
Step into Rio’s lively spirit and learn how Brazilians turn every gathering into a celebration. In this 2-3 hour interactive class, you’ll make four iconic cocktails and four classic appetizers that define the country’s party culture — from the refreshing caipirinha to the creamy batida de coco. Guided by a local host, you’ll mix, shake, and taste as you discover the stories behind each recipe. Between drinks, enjoy preparing simple bar favorites like pão de queijo, tapioca crepes, and crispy cassava fries — all while sipping your own creations. No formal setup, just great energy, music, and laughter in a relaxed home-style kitchen. Perfect for couples, friends, or solo travelers who want to connect, cook, and celebrate the Brazilian way. By the end, you’ll take home repeatable recipes, new mixology skills, and memories you’ll want to recreate at every party back home. Small groups only for a fun, personal experience that feels like cooking with friends.
Sample Menu

Pao de Queijo (cheese bread)
Brazil’s beloved cheese bread, a snack you’ll find at every table, from breakfast to parties.

The national cocktail, perfectly balanced between sweet, sour, and strong.
