Creamy Lemonade

Sharing is caring!

This creamy lemonade recipe is so delicious! It's a refreshing drink perfect for a hot summer day!

It's made with sweetened condensed milk (hence the creamy consistency). This easy recipe is even better than the classic lemonade.

This tasty drink tastes similar to lemon meringue pie. The creaminess added from the condensed milk gives it a fluffier texture that's reminiscent of many lemon desserts!

Why You've Got to Try this Recipe

I know the words "creamy lemonade" might not inspire a lot of faith in this recipe! It sounds like an odd combination - I was personally hesitant at first too, but I highly recommend trying it.

Creamy lemonade has gotten popular on TikTok with recipe creators making all sort of combinations like boozy creamy lemonade, creamy lemonade with strawberries, and whipped lemonade. It's a take on Brazilian limeade and a Brazilian lemonade recipe (Swiss lemonade or limonada suíça) that's made by blending limes or lemons with condensed milk.

It makes for a richer, tastier beverage that's fun to make. This recipe makes a large pitcher of lemonade, so you can save it in the refrigerator and drink it all week or serve it at a party.

Ingredients for the Best Creamy Lemonade

It only takes a few simple ingredients to make this creamy drink!

Lemons - You'll need anywhere from 5 to 8 lemons to get ½ cup of fresh lemon juice. Try to find lemons that feel heavy for their size, it will mean they have more juice! You'll also want one extra lemon for garnish in the pitcher or glasses.

Sweeteners - You'll use ¼ cup of sweetened condensed milk (milk that's had the water removed) and ¼ cup granulated sugar (you can use extra sugar if necessary).

Ice & Water - You'll need 4 cups of ice cubes and 5 cups of water (use cold water so the ice won't melt).

Tips for Making this Recipe

Preparation Tips - If you want an even tarter lemonade, zest several of the lemons and add them to the mixture! If this recipe is too tart for you, you can always stir in a little cane sugar.

Ingredient Notes - I highly recommend using fresh-squeezed lemon juice for this recipe.

Storing Tips - You can save this recipe in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you'd like to make it in advance, add the ice to it before serving so it doesn't get watered down.

Diet/Allergy Alternatives - If you are lactose intolerant or vegan, you can use coconut cream or coconut milk instead of sweetened condensed milk.
