Easy Brazilian Lemonade Recipe
Brazilian Lemonade is a creamy, smooth refreshing lime drink native to Brazil. This version is just like the one Tucanos Brazilian Grill makes! (For non dairy options see the notes in the post.)
BRAZILIAN LEMONADE IS MADE WITH LIMES
Brazilian Lemonade sounds backwards too. It is called “lemonade” but there are no lemons in it – just limes. Don’t as me why – I haven’t the foggiest!
What I do know is it is ridiculously good and that one drink will have you hooked for life. Sorry, but at least I warned you?
HOW TO MAKE THE BEST BRAZILIAN LEMONADE (LIKE TUCANOS)
Some versions of this recipe call for blending limes together with the water etc. I find that makes the drink bitter most of the time. My version is simpler and is dependably amazing.
Have a great week guys, enjoy my birthday tomorrow and don’t wait to whip up a batch of this lovely lemonade to enjoy with friends!
HOW TO MAKE DAIRY FREE BRAZILIAN LEMONADE

Lactose Free Options
