Description
Creamy, sweet, and incredibly refreshing, this Brazilian Lemonade (Limonada) comes together in just 5 minutes with only 5 ingredients. Made with whole blended limes and sweetened condensed milk, it’s the ultimate summer drink that tastes like something you’d sip poolside in Rio.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 limes, plus additional lime wedges for serving
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 7 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups cold water
- 2 cups ice, plus more for serving
Instructions
- Scrub and wash the limes thoroughly under cold water. Cut into quarters with the peel still on and discard the tips of the limes.
- Place the limes into a blender with the sugar, condensed milk, cold water, and ice. Pulse in a blender for 10 to 15 seconds until everything is just combined and small pieces of lime rind still remain. Work in batches if your blender is smaller and make sure not to pulverize the limes or the drink will taste bitter.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a large pitcher or bowl, using the back of a spoon to push out as much liquid as possible. Discard any solids left behind.
- Divide the strained mixture between tall, ice-filled glasses, garnish with lime wedges, and serve immediately.
