Description
A naturally sweetened, completely vegan twist on the classic Limonada Suíça. Blending fresh whole limes with cold water, light agave nectar, and creamy coconut milk creates a smooth, perfectly balanced, and refreshing summer drink.
Ingredients
3 medium limes, washed and quartered
4 cups cold water
1/2 cup light agave nectar (adjust to taste)
1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
2 cups ice cubes
Instructions
1. Add the quartered limes and cold water to a high-speed blender.
2. Pulse the mixture for exactly 10 to 15 seconds to extract the lime juice and essential oils without pulling bitterness from the pith.
3. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher or bowl, pressing gently to extract the juice, and discard the leftover lime solids.
4. Return the strained lime water to the rinsed blender.
5. Add the light agave nectar, coconut milk, and ice cubes.
6. Blend on high until the agave dissolves completely and the drink becomes smooth, creamy, and beautifully frothy.
7. Serve immediately in chilled glasses over extra ice.
Notes
Light agave nectar blends seamlessly into cold liquids and provides a clean, neutral sweetness that complements the tart lime.
Do not over-blend the limes in the first step to prevent the white pith from making the drink bitter.
Substitute the coconut milk with oat milk or almond milk if you prefer a lighter texture.
Serve immediately, as the lime peel oils naturally turn bitter if the drink is stored in the refrigerator.
