Brazilian Coconut Shake

Pronounced ba-CHEE-do, batido is the name Brazilians give to a variety of alcoholic milkshakes. The liquor of choice for this recipe would be cachaça (a potent Brazilian cane spirit). If it’s unavailable, you can use regular white rum instead. I serve this exotic creamy milkshake with any barbecue that features Brazilian fare, for example the Brazilian Stuffed Rib Roast and Brazilian Pork Rollatini.
