Colombian Coconut Limeade (Limonada de Coco)
A creamy, tropical twist on classic limeade—icy, refreshing, and irresistibly smooth.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from 4–5 limes)
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk or granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups ice
- ½ cup cold water (optional, to thin if needed)
- Lime slices & shredded coconut for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Blend it up: In a high-speed blender, add the lime juice, coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk or sugar, and ice. Blend until the mixture is creamy and frothy.
- Adjust texture: If the mixture feels too thick, pour in a bit of cold water and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Sweeten to your liking: Taste and adjust sweetness—add more sugar or condensed milk if you’d like it richer.
- Serve and enjoy: Pour into chilled glasses, garnish with lime slices and shredded coconut if desired. Serve immediately while icy and refreshing.
Fun Variations:
- Lighter Version: Swap half the coconut milk for coconut water for a thinner, more refreshing sip.
- Frozen Twist: Use frozen cubes of coconut milk instead of ice for a thicker, slushy-style texture.
- Cocktail Style: Add a splash of rum or coconut rum for an adult-friendly treat.
