Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

2 hours 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: Portuguese and 2 more

During this class, you'll learn how to make six traditional Brazilian cocktails, followed by a unique opportunity to savor your creations while watching a breathtaking sunset on the iconic Ipanema Beach.

The drinks you’ll learn to prepare can easily be recreated on any occasion — when hosting friends at home or heading to a party. You’ll take this memory of Brazil with you forever.

After spending about two fun hours in our studio mixing and shaking the six drinks, we’ll take a short walk to Ipanema Beach, just two blocks away, to enjoy the sunset with a drink in hand and sand beneath your feet.

Most guests call this a “Top 3 Rio experience” — perfect for those who want to feel the city’s energy in a fun, friendly, and flavorful way.

And if your experience isn’t five stars, we’ll give you your money back.

What to expect

Join a fun local host and learn how to mix 6 authentic Brazilian drinks, enjoy tasty appetizers, and stroll to Ipanema Beach in time for sunset to toast together. Come thirsty and leave buzzing with good vibes!

During this 2.5 hour experience you will learn to make six incredible cocktails that we are sure you will want to make forever!

We will start off by meeting in our studio and eating some things to line up our stomach walls, so these drinks don't shake you, yet you shake them.

This class you'll learn to make two types of caipirinhas, two types of liqueurs (batidas) and two types of cocktails, from scratch.

All our recipes you can replicate with easily found ingredients back home.

We will taste as we make each drink but of course we will save two of them so that we can appreciate them while standing on Ipanema beach sand (the best place to drink is on sand, according to a poll of a million party animals).
