Description
A bubbly and refreshing Brazilian Lemonade Spritz combining the classic creamy lime base with a splash of sparkling water for a fizzy, bright summer mocktail.
Ingredients
3 medium limes, washed and quartered
2 cups cold water
1/2 can (7 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups ice cubes
2 cups sparkling water or club soda, chilled
Instructions
1. Add the quartered limes and cold water to a blender.
2. Pulse the mixture for 10 to 15 seconds to extract the lime juice without making it bitter.
3. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher and discard the leftover lime solids.
4. Return the strained lime water to the blender along with the sweetened condensed milk and ice cubes.
5. Blend on high until smooth and frothy, then divide the mixture evenly among chilled serving glasses.
6. Top each glass with chilled sparkling water, stir gently, and serve immediately.
Notes
Do not over-blend the limes in the first step to prevent the white pith from turning the drink bitter.
Add the sparkling water directly to the glasses rather than the blender to preserve the carbonation.
Substitute prosecco or sparkling wine for an adult cocktail version.
Serve immediately to enjoy the bubbly texture and prevent the lime from turning bitter over time.
