Drinkeria Maldita, Rio de Janeiro

There's more to Rio's cocktail scene than the ubiquitous caipirinha, and nowhere is this better demonstrated than at Drinkeria Maldita, where a staggering 98 different type of mixed drinks are available. Among the stars of the drinks menu are the aptly-named Diablo, which combines tequila with lemon and pepper, and the Caipisake – a caipirinha made with sake instead of cachaca. For R$40, you can try the cocktail degustation menu – four different cocktails mixed to perfection by the expert bartenders. The food menu, meanwhile, offers very good sandwiches, salads and burgers, including soya options for vegetarians. - Lucy Bryson
