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.

Erica, yes this is a great drink here in Cartagena, in several restaurants we often visit they use ..leche condensada..condensed milk, this gives it a still smoother texture
thank you
Erica
Jim- I have to add sweet condensed milk next time.....it sounds wonderful! Thank you!

Jim,
The last time I was in Cartagena & Barranquilla, earlier this year, I heard that indeed they use condensed milk, but instead of using crema de coco, they use agua de coco with lime juice and condensed milk, with ice. Now, I have to do a LOT of research to figure out the proportions! Today, I discovered that it may be good with rum, but please use the light rum, since the dark Jamaican rum makes it taste like limonada de coco with molasses...not good!
Peggy
Would that be sweetened condensed milk?
Erica Dinho
yes

When you say “cream of coconut” , Are you mean the entire can or do you just separate the cream from the can out and discard the watery liquid?
Erica Dinho
Entire can

I’ve made this and it is amazing! But I do have a question, I work at a fire station and I want to make it for the guys but when I change the servings from 2 to 6, the number of limes doesn’t change. Do I keep the same 3 limes for serving of 6?

wow, this is completely new to me. never thought of combining coconut milk and lime together for a drink. looks very refreshing
