Super Special Lemonade
A Sweet and Creamy Treat
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.
