Colombian Coconut Limeade

Here’s a refreshing and authentic Colombian Coconut Limeade (Limonada de Coco) recipe — a tropical favorite, especially popular along Colombia’s Caribbean coast:

🥥 Colombian Coconut Limeade (Limonada de Coco)

🍹 Ingredients:

• 1 cup coconut milk (unsweetened; use canned for creaminess)

• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4–5 limes)

• 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)

• 1 cup ice (more for serving)

• 1/2 cup cold water (optional, to thin if needed)

• Lime slices & shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)

🧊 Optional twist:

• Use cream of coconut instead of sugar + coconut milk if you want it sweeter and richer (but it’s less traditional).

• Add a splash of rum for a boozy version.

🥄 Instructions:

1. Blend it all together:
   In a blender, combine:

   • Coconut milk

   • Fresh lime juice

   • Sugar

   • Ice

   • Cold water (if needed, for desired consistency)

2. Blend on high until the ice is crushed and the mixture is frothy and smooth.

3. Taste & adjust:
   Add more sugar or lime juice if needed. If it’s too thick, add a splash more water or coconut milk.

4. Serve immediately:
   Pour into chilled glasses, garnish with lime slices or a sprinkle of shredded coconut if desired.

✅ Tips:

• Use cold ingredients for the best texture.

• Avoid over-blending if you want it slightly slushy.

• Fresh lime juice is essential — bottled won’t have the same bright flavor.
