vitamina
You may know it only as an ingredient in vitamin pills, but here you can get fresh acerola puree in orange juice squeezed before your eyes. This is called a vitamina with good reason. The fruit is perishable and is stored on ice. Other fruits prepared the same way are abacaxi pineapple, açaÃ, banana, and mamão papaya.
Although Savassi is the place to go on Friday and Saturday nights, Trevo Five Place close to the Hard Rock Cafe is a great spot on Thursday nights. The dancing is great however the environment is not for the cautious.
The state of Minas Gerais is famous for their cachaça. The price stars from R$1,00 to R$50,00 and above, for some high-end brands. It is the main ingredient of the famous "Caipirinha" cocktail, but Brazilians enjoy drinking it pure as well.
Another great drink is a sweet tasting wine-like substance called pronounced "catuaba".
