Lemon-Lime Cooler

100_5856

MMMM! One of my favorite summer-time drinks. I found a recipe for Brazilian Lemonade last year.  It called for using whole limes that you processed in a blender.  I found the drink to be a bit to bitter for my liking so I altered it to this...

Juice of 2 lemons and 5 limes

1/4-1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk

1 cup sugar

6-8 cups water

Combine all ingredients and serve over ice.

Enjoy!

  2. Amy,

    It does sound like it would be super sweet, but I don't think it is! :) I only use 1/4c of the condensed milk. I think it tastes a lot like the Brazilian lemonade, but without the bitterness of the peel. I'm pretty sure it is something that people could play around with to meet there sweetness needs!

  3. You had me until you said milk. Does adding the sweetened condensed milk make is sweet and not milky? I guess I don't use it enough to know really. This reminds me on the recipes for sangria I've been trying, they all end with adjust to your liking! :)

  7. Milk in a lemonade?! Gasp... that sounds absolutely yummy! I wonder if evaporated milk is the same as condensed milk?

  8. Brazilian lemonade is one of our absolute faves. I agree, though, it can be a tad bitter, especially if it sits around awhile and we don't drink it all right away. But your altered recipe sounds fantastic.
