1. Empanadas 🥟

2. Caipirinha 🍹

What’s a carnival parade without a drink in hand? 🍹 The caipirinha is a famous Brazilian cocktail that’s perfect for the occasion. Made with cachaça (a distilled spirit made from sugarcane juice), sugar, and lime, this sweet and tangy drink will have you dancing the night away. 🍸

You can find them filled with dulce de leche or chocolate, making them an indulgent treat that you just can’t resist. Make sure to grab a napkin because these delicious treats are messy! 🧻

5. Beer 🍺

And of course, we can’t forget about the beer. 🍺 Most carnival parades have beer tents where you can grab a cold one to enjoy while you watch the parade. Whether you prefer a light beer or a dark beer, you’ll find something to quench your thirst. Make sure to drink plenty of water as well, as carnival parades can get hot and you don’t want to get dehydrated! 💦
