Tips for Success
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice won’t give the same bright taste.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less condensed milk to your liking.

Flavor Variations
- Add strawberries or raspberries before blending for a fruity version
- Mix in a little vanilla extract for a dessert-like finish
- Swap lemon juice for lime juice to make a whipped limeade

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes. Use sweetened coconut condensed milk for a non-dairy option. It adds a light tropical note too.
Can I make a large batch?
Definitely. Just multiply the ingredients and mix in a pitcher. Stir before serving to recombine.
Is this like Brazilian lemonade?
It’s very similar. Brazilian lemonade typically uses limes instead of lemons and blends them whole before straining. This version is simplified and uses lemons only.
