Brazil 10 - Guarana



Oh liquid gold...oh refreshing of most refreshing drinks...sigh, just looking at it makes my mouth ache for the satisfaction of mouthfuls of this wonderous liquid...

Guarana...god.

I know us aussies think guarana is an additive for energy drinks, that gets you buzzing....well this has absolutely nothing to do with that. This soft drink is based on the guarana berry that is found in the Amazon, and yes, they do make a guarana powder that does have buzzy qualities to it - but that's a discussion for another time!!

This drink really is the national drink - sort of like the Coca Cola of Brazil. And let me tell you from experience, that Antarctica, the brand you see here, is definitely the best (even though Coke recently launched their own brand of Guarana)!!!

This was the first thing I bought when I arrived in Sao Paulo airport two weeks ago, then on the plane here to Curitiba, and pretty much have not stopped drinking this wonderfully sweet fizzy gold since I've been here.

Sigh....liquid gold....drink of my dreams...
