Create this classic Brazilian drink in just minutes with a secret ingredient…limes!

Two glasses of brazilian lemonade garnished with limes against a blue wall

If there is one thing that says warmer weather is on it’s way to me it’s a tasty lemonade. When there’s six inches of snow on the ground all I want to do is cuddle up under a blanket with a cup of hot cocoa and a good movie. But now that it’s warming up all I can think about is pool time, flip flops and an ice cold glass of Brazilian lemonade.

If you are a lemonade fan you will probably also love our easy raspberry lemonade or our Chick-Fil-A Copycat Frosted Lemonade! Or find our entire beverage collection here! 

Brazilian Lemonade

I remember the first time I went to a mom’s group after my son was born was around Cinco de Mayo and my friend, Bonnie, made the tastiest drink I had ever had. It was the perfect mix of sweet and tangy and  perfectly refreshing. When I asked what it was and how she made it she told me it was Brazilian Lemonade.

The recipe was an old family favorite and surprisingly it had no lemons in it at all; the main ingredient was limes!

With Cinco de Mayo coming up in a few weeks and the Summer Olympics in a few months in Brazil I thought now was the time to bust out my favorite lemonade recipe. So with the help of my two little chefs and my Blendtec we made our first batch of Brazilian Lemonade.

And our second. And third. Seriously, this drink is so good you’ll want to make more as soon as it’s gone; so make sure you have extra limes!

Brazilian Lemonade Ingredients

So if there are no lemons in Brazilian lemonade then what DO you use in this delicious drink? Well, I’ll tell you! 

  • Limes
  • Water
  • Sugar
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk

So simple and so good!

Pro Tips: 

  • Start with 3 TBS of sweetened condensed milk, but if the lemonade is too tart for you add another tablespoon. 
  • If lemonade is too sweet, slowly add 1/4 cup of cold water until desired tanginess is achieved. 
  • This recipe only makes two servings, but if you are serving a large group it is easy to triple or quadruple the recipe as necessary.
