A cold frothy Tik Tok remake for the scortching summer heat
Brazilian Mango Limonata
Creamy and tart, this tropical twist on the Tik Tok viral Brazilian drink, Limonata Suíça, is perfect for a scorching hot day. Traditionally made with limes and sweetened condensed milk, this refreshing beverage popular in Brazil originally stated out as a frozen whole limeade, but when Nestlé introduced sweetened condensed milk to the country in the 1940s it made its way into this beverage. In my version, I’ve added a tropical flair by incorporating sweetened condensed coconut milk and ripe mangoes, creating a deliciously creamy and nuanced flavor profile. My easy and quick version forgoes added sugar, relying on the natural sweetness of the mango. It’s the ultimate refreshing treat to beat the heat!
Ingredients
4 limes, washed and scrubbed clean
1 cup (8 ounces) sweetened condensed coconut milk
1 ripe mango, chopped
3 cups cold water
4 cups ice cubes
Directions
Trim off and discard the ends of the limes, then quarter them. In a blender, combine the quartered limes with the sweetened condensed coconut milk and chopped mango. Add the cold water to the blender and blend until smooth and frothy.
Next, add the ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the ice is crushed and well mixed with the other ingredients. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a large pitcher. Use a spoon to press and extract all the liquid from the pulp, discarding any solids left in the strainer to achieve a smooth texture.
Pour the strained tropical limeade into tall glasses filled with additional ice cubes. Serve immediately.
