    • Brazilian Limeade

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    There is a Brazilian restaurant in Utah called Tocano's. They serve a creamy, tart, and delicious limeade that is non-alcoholic and is called Brazilian Limeade. This recipe is a copycat of that drink. Trust me - once you try this, you'll be hooked! Some call this Brazilian Lemonade, even though traditionally it is made with whole limes. But either way - it is delicious! We've created this short-cut version of the drink. This drink is perfect alongside steak tacos, chicken fajitas, or instant pot barbacoa.

    You'll love this recipe because:

    • It is fast and easy to make! It only has two ingredients and can be made up quick!
    • It is addicting! The tart and sweet combo will leave you pouring glass after glass.
    • It is refreshing during the warming months. There is nothing more satisfying than a lemon or limeade during the summer.
    • Everyone loves it! Kids and adults alike gulp this drink down. It's so dang good!

    About The Ingredients

    You guys, the ingredient list for this Brazilian limeade recipe is so short. You can pick up everything at your grocery store.

    • Limeade - this is the base of the drink. I usually opt to use a pre-made version like Simply Limeade, but you can choose to make a homemade limeade (instructions in recipe card), or make it from frozen limeade concentrate.
    • Sweetened condensed milk - this can be found in the baking aisle. Sweetened condensed milk is cows milk with the water removed and sugar added. This is what gives the drink its sweetness and creamy element.
    • Limes for garnish - this is optional, and I sometimes omit this. But a little garnish is always nice.

    For a complete list of ingredients and amounts, see recipe card below.

    How Do I Make Brazilian Limeade?

    This recipe comes together in a snap! Here is how to make it!

    How to make Brazilian limeade.

    Limeade Options

    There are a few different options when it comes to limeade:

    • Premade - If you are going for the premade option - I like the simply limeade.  You can find it in the refrigerated section and it is delicious!
    • Frozen Limeade Concentrate - prepare according to package instructions.
    • Make your own - The last option is to make your own. All you'll need are limes, water, and sugar:

    Homemade Limeade:

    • 1 cup fresh lime juice
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 2 quarts cold water

    Combine all ingredients in a large pitcher.  Stir to combine.

    All of these options are delicious, I've tried them all!

    FAQs

    Can I adjust the sweetness level of Brazilian lemonade?

    Absolutely! Just add less of the sweetened condensed milk for a more tart version.

    Can I use lemonade instead of limeade?

    Of course, it will have a slightly different flavor profile, but will still be delicious!

    How long does it last?

    This Brazilian limeade recipe is best served fresh, the sweetened condensed milk tends to separate if left in the fridge. But you can keep it in an airtight container for about 24 hours in the fridge.

      I'm excited to try this recipe! I bet it would be even better with some rum added in similar to a pina colada or maybe with tequila to taste like a creamy margarita. Yum

      Hello Jo.
      I apologize for my confusion, but is it half the can of sweetened condensed milk, or the whole can. Maybe I read wrong earlier in the post, but I thought it said to add half. But the written recipe doesn't make that distinction. Thanks!
