Colombian Coconut Limeade (Limonada de Coco)
Ingredients:
½ cup fresh lime juice (about 4-5 limes)
1 can coconut milk
¼ cup sweetened condensed milk or sugar (adjust to taste)
2 cups ice
½ cup cold water (optional, for desired consistency)
Lime slices and shredded coconut (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
Blend – In a blender, combine lime juice, coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk (or sugar), and ice. Blend until smooth and frothy.
Adjust consistency – If too thick, add cold water and blend again.
Taste and adjust – Add more sugar or condensed milk if you prefer it sweeter.
Serve – Pour into glasses, garnish with lime slices and shredded coconut if desired, and enjoy immediately!
Variations:
– Coconut Water Version – Replace half the coconut milk with coconut water for a lighter drink.
– Frozen Limonada de Coco – Use frozen coconut milk cubes instead of ice for a thicker, frostier texture.
– Spiked Version – Add a shot of rum or coconut rum for a tropical cocktail twist.
