Now, you may be wondering why something that employs the use of
limes only is called lemonade. Apparently it has something to do with
translation. In Portuguese, limão is the term for both limes and
lemons, ergo; any drink made with either of these citrus fruits is called limonada, that translated to the English “lemonade.” In my version,
because I substituted some of the water with coconut water and coconut rum, I
added the word “tropical,” but stuck with the original term of “lemonade,”
despite using the limes. Whatever you want to call it, it is sensational.
1 c. water
1 c. coconut water
1 c. coconut rum
½ c. sugar
1 ½ c. ice cubes
Wash limes to within an inch of their lives. (I used this vegetable scrubber.) Cut off the ends and slice into eight wedges. Leave the peels on!
Place limes in a blender with water, coconut
water, rum, and sugar. Blend until smooth. Strain through a fine
mesh sieve to remove rinds, and return to the blender.
Add sweetened condensed milk and ice cubes, and blend a final time. Serve in a tall
glass, garnished with a slice of lime. (Thereafter,
do not operate any heavy machinery.)
