It's been nearly twenty years since Tom Cruise flipped bottles around a Manhattan bar with face-slapping smugness in Cocktail. And his character was too busy knocking up waitresses and shouting at craggy Australians to teach us anything useful about making a perfectly-mixed tipple - leaving us on the eternal hunt for the best cocktail bars in the world.

    Rio Scenarium

    Posted by kerrsmith 4 January 2009

    Don't miss a night in this lively bar. Rio Scenarium is a fabulous place for a night out in Rio where you can get a bite to eat, have some drinks and dance. It's a hit with the locals who seem to use it as a meeting place. Book if you want a table. Don't go too early, go after 10pm when the atmosphere is more lively.

    Cachaça Magnífica

    Posted by jess83walker 11 September 2008

    This is the best cachaça to drink in Rio de Janeiro! Caipirinha, the most traditional Brazilian drink, is made with cachaça.

    I bought some take to the US and my friends loved it!

    Boat Party

    Posted by jess83walker 11 September 2008

    Boat Party is one of the best ways to have fun in Rio. They offer a tour with DJs, a barbecue and Caipirinhas on the boat!

    I loved it - I was already having fun in Rio and after going to Boat Party I didn't want to do anything else.

    Ipanema beach is lined with tents selling food and drink, and renting beach chairs. We like the one run by Jorge, located between Posto 9 & 10, right in front of the Caesar Park hotel. It's called Ordem & Progresso (the motto from the Brazilian flag), and the employees wear shirts in the Brazilian colors of yellow and green. Give your name to Jorge at the tent, and you can run a tab, to be settled when you leave the beach. Until then just wave, and their folks will bring sandwiches, soft drinks, beer, caipirinhas, piña coladas... the latter comes in single (served in a cup) or double (served in a pineapple). Delicious (and huge). The sandwiches are tasty. Best of all, the folks are cheerful, quick, and honest.
