Fruit cocktail drink is a refreshing and delicious blend of fruits blended with sweetened condensed milk, ice, and cachaça,white rum, or vodka.
What a hot and stressful day!!!!!!!!!!!!! To refresh myself and clear my mind, I made what in Brazil we call coquetel de frutas, which means literally fruit cocktail drink.
Because I rarely drink alcohol, I made mine virgin.
I basically blended tropical fruits with berries and condensed milk… and in just a few minutes, heaven in a cup was ready.
How I love this kind of treat: quick, easy, and delicious (QED) — just like the many other recipes that can be found in the “QED” section of this blog.
I cannot have enough of these recipes. They are such bliss on troublesome days. If you have some favorites of your own, you will know exactly what I am talking about. If you don’t, I invite you to make one of these virgin drinks for yourself, sit in a cool place, and relax. Ahhhhhh….
Enjoy the moment and our fruit cocktail drink!

- 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- Ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons cachaça or rum for the non-virgin version (optional)
- 3 tablespoons groselha syrup ** optional
- ** This is a syrup made of red currants which is highly regarded by Brazilians and the Portuguese.

Note: There are many varied recipes for fruit cocktail in Brazil. You can personalize yours by blending together condensed milk with fresh or frozen fruits of your preference (always combining neutral with acidic fruits) or even fruit juices. Other optional ingredients include a little bit of heavy cream, or for a non-virgin version, alcohol.

It was such a warm day today and this cocktail would have been a nice Friday treat. Well, that’s me saying who is not much of a drinker!! This must be a delicious one with all the fruits in it. I LOVE fruity drinks and that’s pretty much what I like in terms of alcohol. 🙂 Lovely presentation too!
Thanks so much, Nami! It is always a delight have you visiting me here. I love this drink! Mine is always without alcohol or virgin — like we say in Brazil. Have a great weekend!
This really does look blissful! Our yard is covered in snow, but I’m going to do my best to imagine myself sitting on a warm beach, with one of these drinks in my hand.
Thanks for stopping by, Dara! This is a very popular drink in my tropical country.
But my hubby and I love it so much that we drink it even on cold days.
Foodista gave me an award for it which made me very happy. 🙂 Well, have a cozy winter day!!!
hi

Hi, Samuel!
I hope you enjoy this fave of mine. Cheers!
