Staring through a hotel window at a horizon stocked with skyscrapers, sipping cachaca cocktails & sampling slivers of sublime charred meats, soaking up carnaval beats; contemplating the cross-pollination of nations and the waves of immigration that made this place so utterly unique... one week to scrape the surface of this South American sprawl, before I leave Brasil yet again enchanted and enthralled...

Long Day At Work: Open Bar
After a long first day of the meeting, spent entirely in a windowless Hilton hotel conference room, we piled into a few vans and headed over to Leo Burnett Sao Paulo to check out Tailor Made, the latest incarnation of Leo Burnett in Brasil. After a quick tour of the building, we were led to the top floor, where a bartender was waiting for us with a range of fruits and a healthy supply of vodka, rum, and cachaca for fresh Caipininhas and Caipiroskas. Passion fruit, kiwis, strawberries, limes, and pineapples.... Ahhhh..... Below is a primer from YouTube on the process of making a Caipirinha.... Quite a drink, with a kick that will loosen up even the stiffest soul...
