Limonada de Coco is popular drink from the coast of Colombia. This coconut limeade recipe is creamy, refreshing and very easy to make. The perfect drink to serve during a hot day.
Since summer began I have been receiving e-mails from some of my readers asking me about a Coconut Limeade that they had in Cartagena and loved. Okay guys, after some phone calls to Colombia, I have the recipe for you.
I don't know how good the Limonada de Coco that my readers had in Colombia was, but let me tell you, this recipe is really delicious and refreshing. Thanks to my wonderful readers that told me about this drink and to my friends in Colombia who helped me to find the recipe for you.

Our favorite versions added coconut so that you actually need a spoon to finish! Yum❣️

Caution. If you’re using bottle lime juice, use only three tablespoons. Most bottled lime juice labels state 3 tablespoons = Juice of one lime. That would be nine tablespoons of lime juice in this recipe. Way too much lime. I cut it down to three tablespoons. Works fine. I also used Splenda....and one shot of Cruzan Rum. Go for it.

I recently visited Cartagena and Santa Marta on my honeymoon and this is the most delicious drink! My husband's family is Colombian and he is missing this drink! In your recipe do you use coconut milk or cream.of coconut? They are very much different! Thanks!

This recipe works as a good baseline! Except I don't add any sugar. The coconut milk is sweet enough as it is.
I added some pineapple and pinapple juice.

After walking around Cartagena for most of a (very hot) day we stopped into one of the little restaurants for a late lunch. I ordered one of these and it was like what heaven must taste like. The waitress and cook would NOT tell me how to make one.
Glad I ran into this site. I am going to try this tonight.
Muchas Gracias.

I love the flavors of this drink but when I made it, it was too sweet for us. Is there a way to minimize the syrupy Cream of Coconut but leave the yummy coconut flavor?
Erica Dinho
Christy- Just use coconut milk and omit the cream of coconut next time.
Some people in Colombia don't add cream of coconut and they make it with condensed milk and coconut milk.
