Brazilian Lemonade (aka Limonada Suíça) is a bit of a curveball – made with limes, not lemons, and blitzed with sweetened condensed milk for a creamy, zingy drink that somehow just works. It’s a fridge-door staple you can knock up in minutes, with no peeling, no faff, and maximum blender satisfaction.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 fresh limes
  • 3 cups cold water
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup ice (plus extra for serving)

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Cut the limes into small chunks – no need to peel.
  2. Add the lime chunks and cold water to a blender. Blitz for 15–20 seconds – no more, or it’ll turn bitter.
  3. Strain through a sieve to remove the pulp.
  4. Rinse the blender, then pour the strained liquid back in.
  5. Add the sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup of ice. Blend until smooth and frothy.
  6. Serve immediately over extra ice.

TOP TIP

This drink is best enjoyed straight away, as the bitterness from the lime skins can develop if left sitting around.

THREE WAYS TO USE UP THE PULP

Zingy Marinades – Mix with garlic, herbs, and oil to marinate fish, chicken or tofu.

Salad Dressing Base – Whisk into vinaigrettes for a sharp lime punch.

Lime Ice Cubes – Freeze with water or mint and chuck into future drinks.
