Magic Make Most Out of Trip to Brazil

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil – Take a leisurely stroll down picturesque Copacabana Beach and you’re as likely to see as many colorful caipirinhas as you do thongs on the ladies dancing, playing fut’volley or simply soaking in the sunshine.

Caipirinhas, the drink of choice for most Brazilians, is this wonderfully refreshing cocktail that combines the sweetness of the cane sugar, the tartness of fresh lime juice and the sneaky punch of local rum.

Another cocktail often downed in Brazil by NBA teams, such as the Orlando Magic in this case, is the one where basketball, business and pleasure are blended together.
