A summery lime drink with coconut, what more could a girl ask for?
This is a drink I got out of a magazine. It's really tasty and it made me use sugar, which is something I don't really want to do, but what the heck! It's okay, because the result is great!
They shared this recipe, together with a little story about a Dutch food truck. Well, I say food truck, it's actually a juice truck. How awesome would that be... I can definitely see the appeal. Though not on all days, so I'll leave it to the professionals and will just visit one from time to time.
Anyway, I tried this without crushed ice (or any form of ice) first, out of necessity. I simply did not have ice. It tastes great like that too, but my boyfriend prefered the iced version of this drink. Let's talk recipe. You're going to need a blender.
(I froze the last of it in ice cubes, which I am drank today, hench the pictures!)
Ingredients
4 Limes
80g Sugar
120ml Full coffee milk or condensed milk
200ml Coconut milk
Crushed ice or ice cubes
Directions
- For a festive look, cut off four slices of a lime and keep them seperate. Cut up the other limes, including the peel.
- Put the limes, sugar and 400ml ice cold water in a blender and blend for a while.
- Pour the blended drink through a sieve to seperate the lime pieces from the drink and throw those away.
- Mix the drink with the coffee milk (or condensed milk) and the coconut milk (Optionally, add some rum).
- Fill up four glasses with about 3/4 crushed ice and pour over the lemonade.
- Make extra pretty by putting a slice of lime on each glass rim.
- Serve with a straw.
Enjoy!
I didn't go all fancy with a lime slice. It tasted pretty great without one too!

This sounds amazing.
It really was! I love these magazines. A few grocery stores release them once a month and I always find a few recipes I want to try. Most of the time, I end up tweaking them a bit (or just mixing and matching), but they always inspire me :D
This particular one definitely inspired me a lot and I really like this recipe (and the other two I tried on the same day).
I like coconut drinks. Very refreshing during summer time.
I never really had them much before, but this has changed that! I'm definitely going to be using it more in the future :-)
That looks so delicious ! I am sure going to try it out .
Great! I hope you like it as much as I did :D
Maybe I'll try to make, looks so tasty!
I thought it was really tasty indeed! I can definitely recommend giving it a try :-)
