    Brazilian Limeade is creamy, tangy and sweet and is a wonderful and refreshing drink for summer or any time of the year. And the best thing about making this limeade is that you can simply throw the limes quarters in the blender!

    Ever since learning about Brazilian Limeade I can't seem to stop drinking it. I'm very thankful to my friend Liliana in Colombia who told me about this delicious drink. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did! Just be sure to serve it immediately, as it gets bitter after a while.

    Buen provecho!

      Hi Erica!! I suppose you have already had "Limonada de Coco" (Coconut Lemonade). In case not, the recipe is quite simple. Blend equal parts lime juice and coconut milk with 1/2 part sugar or of course to suit taste. However, this might be a good starting point and you can tweak from there. Add crushed ice and blend some more. Very, very good!! You can also add some white rum to turn it into a cocktail, or as we say here "Bautizarlo" (Baptize it), LOL!! Costeño culture!!
      Have a great day!! If anybody else decides to try it, I'd love to hear their comments.

      It is the condensed milk that is making this limeade rock. Very refreshing.

      This does look refreshing. I'd imagine that the drink is tart and creamy and a bit bitter from all the lime pith. Quite adult in flavor.

      Unfortunately limes are hard to find and quite expensive, as there is no local production, so I don't use them often but it sounds wonderful. I noticed that it is called limonada, is it the same when using lemons?

      IVY: I think it is called limonada...since we call LIMON these green fruits. Lime for us is another kind of fruit that is not sour at all. (In Colombia). The yellow looking fruit that in US is called Lime, for us is a Lima-limon since it looks between a lemon ( the greeen one & the other sweet fruit LIMA).
      I hope it is not too confusing.
      When I think of a lemon( limon) I think of these green ones.

      Delicious! I improvised a bit since I didn't have sweetened condensed milk... blended the limes with milk, sugar, and a bit of ice (no water) then strained.

      That's a bit watery for my taste, so I used 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup condensed milk, 1/3 cup + 4 tsp lime juice, and 4 cups water. Very milky. 🙂
