Brazilian lemonade is a refreshing and unique drink, ironically made from limes rather than lemons. The drink combines fresh limes, condensed milk, sugar, and water, creating a sweet and citrusy flavor with a creamy texture. It is a popular and beloved non-alcoholic drink in Brazil, enjoyed with or without alcohol. You could swap out the dairy condensed milk for the coconut version if you wished.
We loved adding our own spin with our favourite salt flakes on the rim of the glass, and of course a pinch in the mixture as well. It is pretty addictive. Add alcohol of choice or not! We are also going to try adding mango or even watermelon...any other suggestions?
Make sure you check out some of our amazing lemonades, with or without the lemons of course!
