During the carnival in Olinda, a colossal 2-liter caipirinha has captured the attention of revelers who enjoy the spirited celebration. Originating about ten years ago in Caruaru, the drink known as 'Dona Caipirinha' has become increasingly popular, especially during the festive São João. The giant drink aims to enhance the carnival experience for those navigating the historical site's steep slopes.

This year marks the third time 'Dona Caipirinha' has been offered at a stall located in the Four Corners area, a pivotal meeting point for many carnival routes in the City Alta. The drink is not only a refreshing beverage but also serves as a test of stamina for partygoers. Many, like Cláudio and his friends, are drawn to the novelty of the massive drink and relish the shared experience while exploring the historic town during the celebrations.

As carnival enthusiasts embrace this playful addition to their festivities, businesses like the one selling the gigantic caipirinha also benefit from increased foot traffic and tourism. The drink has become emblematic of the carnival atmosphere in Olinda, highlighting the convergence of local traditions, creativity, and joyous revelry that characterizes Brazil's famous festivities.
