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.

I made this last night as directed in the recipe. It was very good - even better with a shot of coconut rum.
I do think that next time I'll try either the condensed milk (for the smoother & sweeter drink) or regular coconut milk (for the calories).

I had this in villa de leyva about recently but it didn't have the ice so it was creamier. I absolutely loved it. Haven't tried your recipe but it seems like it has all the right ingredients, though I think they make the limeade with the rind too. I will give it a shot 🙂

This looks delicious, Erica. Perfect for this warm weather.
Have a wonderful weekend 🙂

oops... to clarify, they used the limes and the rest of the recipe but didn't use "leche condensada".

I just got back from Cartagena and sat at the bar of the Montesacro restaurant at the Plaza Bolivar and watched them make this. They only used the coconut milk and sugar. After trying the limonada de coco at Montesacro, I ordered it also at other restaurants and was sorely disappointed. El Hotel Caribe's was the worst. Erica, the recipe you've listed is identical to the Montesacro's. Less sugar would be just as good.

Eliseo, Thank you so much for your comment!

Tasty, but seriously high in calories and saturated fat. Don't make this a regular drink. 🙁

Sounds delicious and easy! I'll try it. By the way, do you know of any other recipe for making postre de pina? not Flan, but one that seems to have pieces of pina as well as angel cake or something that looks like bread. I tried it once when I was a little girl and it was so good.
Thank you.

Viviana:
Would the pineapple dessert that you described have been called a "Merengon"? I had something like this once, but it was with guanabana instead of pineapple.
