BRAZILIAN LEMONADE

Brazilian Lemonade

Brazilian Lemonade, Brazilian Limeade – whatever you want to call it, this is one delicious and refreshing drink that we enjoy year round!

This is one of our favorite treats that seems to go perfectly with everything. Of course it’s a fantastic drink to enjoy during the summer when the days are long and hot, but it’s also great in the winter when limes are in season and at their juicy best!

I first tried this Brazilian lemonade recipe after seeing it on Our Best Bites, who posted about it way back in 2010, and we’ve been making it ever since.

It’s sweet-tart, tangy, and ever so slightly creamy thanks to the addition of some sweetened condensed milk.

If you have ever eaten at one of many popular Brazilian steakhouses like Tucanos or Fogo de chao, you may have had a chance to try this wonderfully sweet-tart Brazilian Lemonade.
