The weather is an important influence on when and how you choose to barbecue. In my parts of the world sun is out and continuously giving us warm sunny days, so our thoughts are turning on drinking and eating alfresco.
Last year we missed doing a barbecue, so this year before it's get too late as soon as the sun was out we planned a barbecue party at ours. The back garden was packed with great atmosphere, everyone was having great time with music, food and drink.
For the party , we decide to prepare the food and drinks from around the world as all are ready for the intense excitement of Rio 2016 Olympics in Brazil. We prepared delicious and enticing foods and salads inspired with world cuisine and for drinks we got our evening off to a great start by with tall glasses of Brazil's most famous cocktail Caipirinha !
Classic Brazilian Caipirihna prepared with Cachace (sugarcane hard liquor) lime and sugar, but to feel summery I have used mixed berries, and to replace alcohol I used sparkling cream soda. Sweet and refreshing non alcoholic drink perfect for sipping grill-side !
Notes :- Use white rum or vodka for a boozy drink.
Use sparkling water if you can't get hold of cream soda.
