Ingredients
Liquid Ingredients
- 4 cups cold water, divided
- 3/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
Sweeteners
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Serving

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender jar, add 3 cups of cold water, fresh lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and granulated sugar. This combination forms the base of the Brazilian Limeade.
- Blend Mixture: Blend everything on low speed until the mixture is well combined and frothy, ensuring the sugar and condensed milk dissolve completely into the lime water.
- Stir In Remaining Water: Pour in the last 1 cup of cold water and give the mixture a quick stir by hand. This helps balance the flavor and keep the limeade light and refreshing.
- Serve: Pour the Brazilian Limeade over ice in a pitcher or individual cups and serve immediately to enjoy its fresh and vibrant flavors.
Notes
- Fresh lime juice is key for the best flavor; avoid bottled lime juice if possible.
- You can adjust the sugar amount to suit your sweetness preference.
- This limeade is best served immediately to enjoy its frothy texture and fresh taste.
- For a creamier texture, add a splash of milk or half-and-half if desired.
- Use cold water and ice to keep the drink chilled without diluting the flavor.
