Limonada de Coco is a refreshing and creamy limeade cocktail that combines the tropical richness of coconut milk with the zesty brightness of fresh lime juice. Sweetened to perfection and optionally spiked with rum, this chilled beverage is perfect for warm weather or as a tropical treat.

Ingredients

Liquid and Dairy

  • 13.5 ounce (400 ml) can full-fat coconut milk, solid part only
  • 4 ounces (120 ml) rum (optional)

Produce

  • Juice from 4 limes

Sweeteners

  • 5 tablespoons (65 grams) granulated sugar

Others

  • Ice cubes as needed (about 3 cups whole ice cubes)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the coconut milk: Scoop out the solid part of the canned full-fat coconut milk and add it to a blender. This thick creamy portion is essential to give the drink its rich coconut flavor and smooth texture.
  2. Add lime juice and sugar: Squeeze the juice from four fresh limes into the blender. Add five tablespoons of granulated sugar to balance the tartness. These ingredients provide the signature tangy and sweet flavor of the limonada.
  3. Add rum and ice: If desired, pour in four ounces of rum for an extra kick. Then add ice cubes—around three cups or to your preferred chill level—to the blender to fully chill the drink.
  4. Blend until smooth: Blend all ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste the drink and adjust sugar or lime juice as needed to achieve your perfect balance.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Pour the limonada de coco into glasses and serve immediately for a refreshing tropical beverage.

Notes

  • Using the solid part of full-fat coconut milk gives the best creamy texture; avoid the watery separate layer.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar and lime juice to your taste preference for more or less sweetness and tartness.
  • The rum is optional; this recipe can easily be made non-alcoholic.
  • Use fresh limes for the best flavor but bottled lime juice can be a substitute if needed.
  • For a dairy-free and vegan option, ensure the coconut milk contains no dairy additives.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the drink at its freshest and coldest.
