Brazilian Lemonade – A Refreshing Summer Drink
Brazilian Lemonade is a unique and irresistible twist on the classic lemonade, offering a creamy, tangy, and sweet flavor that is perfect for hot summer days. Unlike traditional lemonade made with lemons, this Brazilian favorite uses fresh limes blended with sweetened condensed milk, creating a smooth and refreshing drink with a tropical flair
Ingredients
- 3 quartered fresh limes
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup sugar
- 4 cups cold water
- Ice for serving
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the quartered fresh limes, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, and cold water.
- Blend until smooth, making sure the limes are fully incorporated.
- Pour the mixture through a strainer into a pitcher to remove the lime pulp.
- Serve immediately over ice for the best flavor and freshness.
Notes
Serving
- Serve Brazilian Lemonade immediately after preparing for the freshest flavor and creamiest texture.
- Always pour it over plenty of ice to keep it cold and refreshing.
- Garnish with thin lime slices or a sprig of mint for an extra touch of freshness and visual appeal.
- This drink pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, seafood dishes, or light summer salads.
Storage
- Because Brazilian Lemonade contains fresh limes and sweetened condensed milk, it’s best enjoyed the same day it’s made.
- If you must store it, keep it in an airtight pitcher in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- Stir well before serving again, as separation may occur during storage.
- Avoid freezing, as the texture and flavor can change once thawed
