Brazilian Lemonade

Brazilian Lemonade, known locally as “Limonada suíça” is a popular and refreshing beverage made with fresh limes and sweetened condensed milk.

Many bloggers have taken a Brazilian Lemonade recipe and used lemons instead of limes, calling it Creamy Lemonade.

Brazilian lemons look and taste more like common limes, so this lemonade recipe does not call for lemons, although you can use lemons if you like. The touch of sweetened condensed milk gives this drink a rich, subtle creaminess while the blender creates a frothy finish.

This refreshing cooler is ideal on a hot summer day, is best served immediately as it becomes bitter tasting when made ahead of time.
