Brazilian Lemonade is a wonderfully refreshing drink that combines the tanginess of fresh limes with the creaminess of sweetened condensed milk. Despite its name, it’s made with limes, not lemons, giving it a unique flavor profile that’s both tangy and sweet. Perfect for hot summer days or anytime you need a cool, creamy treat, this drink is easy to make, creamy, and absolutely delicious.

Ingredients

4 fresh limes (about 500g total)

4 cups cold water (960ml)

½ cup granulated sugar (100g)

⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk (80ml)

2 cups ice cubes (about 300g)

Instructions

  1. Begin by thoroughly washing your limes with warm water to remove any wax or surface residue. Since the peel will be blended, this step is important. Cut the limes into quarters.
  2. In a blender, combine half of the water, the cut limes, sugar, and ice cubes. Blend for 15–20 seconds, but avoid over-blending to prevent the drink from becoming bitter, as the lime peel contains natural oils that can overpower the flavor.
  3. Strain the mixture into a large bowl or pitcher using a fine mesh sieve, pressing gently to extract all the juice while leaving behind the solids. This step ensures a smooth, creamy drink without any pulp or peel.
  4. Pour the strained liquid back into the blender. Add the remaining water and sweetened condensed milk. Blend for another 10–15 seconds until smooth and frothy.
  5. Pour into glasses over ice for a cool, creamy, and refreshing drink. Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.

Notes

Add a splash of coconut milk or coconut cream for a tropical twist on this Brazilian favorite.

Add a few fresh mint leaves into the blender for a refreshing minty flavor.

Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar or condensed milk to your taste preference.
