Make some Super Special Lemonade by adding sweetened condensed milk to fresh squeezed lemon juice!

This produces a perfectly sweet lemonade. The lemonade is super drinkable due to the slightly creamy taste of this thirst quenching drink.

If you’re like me and have always been a fan of lemonade but not a fan of the overly sour flavor, this is the perfect solution to that problem.

The full, printable recipe is at the bottom of this post but first I will share a few fun facts and tips.

Brazilian Lemonade

I found out about this recipe from perusing my Pinterest page. I made a version of the recipes I found and posted it to my Instagram.

My Instagram followers informed me there is a similar drink in Brazil made with limes. Here is another great lemonade recipe made with limes from the Brazilian Kitchen Abroad Blog.

Thinking ahead, I will try to make this one as well. It looks so refreshing and delicious!

Spice Things Up

Additionally, you can make this drink into a happy hour favorite by adding your favorite libation.

It can be a great grown up cocktail with the addition of a coconut rum, a flavored vodka, or even a mild whiskey.

I’m thinking that this would make a wonderful punch for a party with both alcoholic and non alcoholic varieties.
