  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh lime juice (from about 6-8 limes)
  • 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, or to taste (can substitute with agave or simple syrup)
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 3-4 cups ice cubes, plus more for serving
  • Lime slices and shredded coconut for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Begin by squeezing your fresh limes to yield approximately 1 cup of juice. Strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp or seeds, ensuring a smooth texture for your limeade.
  2. In a powerful blender, combine the strained fresh lime juice, the full-fat coconut milk (or coconut cream for a richer drink), granulated sugar, and cold water.
  3. Add 3-4 cups of ice cubes to the blender. Secure the lid and blend on a low speed initially, gradually increasing to high until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and frothy. Ensure all the ice is thoroughly crushed and integrated.
  4. Carefully taste the Colombian Coconut Limeade. Adjust the sweetness or tartness to your preference by adding more sugar for sweetness or a small splash more lime juice for extra zest.
  5. Pour the luscious, creamy limeade into chilled glasses filled with fresh ice. For an extra touch of elegance and flavor, garnish each serving with a fresh lime slice or a sprinkle of shredded coconut, if desired.
  6. Serve your delightful Dreamy Velvet Colombian Coconut Limeade immediately and savor the refreshing tropical flavors!

Notes

For an even richer and thicker texture, opt for full-fat coconut cream instead of coconut milk. The sweetness level is entirely customizable; start with less sugar and add more until it perfectly suits your palate. This limeade is best enjoyed fresh; if preparing ahead, store it refrigerated and blend with fresh ice just before serving to maintain its optimal creamy consistency. Consider adding a few fresh mint leaves to the blender for an invigorating twist.
