About This Tour
Discover Brazil through its most iconic flavors in a fun and hands-on Brazilian cocktail class in Ipanema, one of Rio de Janeiro’s most vibrant neighborhoods. This experience is perfect for travelers who want to go beyond sightseeing and enjoy a relaxed, social, and delicious introduction to Brazilian drinks, local ingredients, and the joyful spirit of Rio.
During the class, you will learn how to prepare six Brazilian cocktails, including classic caipirinha-style creations and other flavorful drinks inspired by the country’s tropical fruits, cachaça, and festive culture.
Guided step by step, you will mix, shake, taste, and discover how each drink connects to Brazilian celebrations, beach lifestyle, and everyday gatherings. Local snacks are also served throughout the experience, so you can enjoy the tasting at a comfortable pace.
After the hands-on cocktail class, the experience continues with a short walk to Ipanema Beach, located just a few blocks away.

Traveler Reviews
We had the most amazing private tour of Rio with Monique. Her passion for the city, its people and its culture is infectious, her intimate knowledge makes the tour so authentically Rio and we managed to skip lines and avoid the big crowds due to her organisation! She also took us to an amazing bar she has been going to for 13 years and the feijoada and caipirinhas were the best in the city.
If you want to experience the true Rio you neeeeeeeeed to do it with Monique!! A real highlight of our South America adventure. Check it out on Google Reviews.
