This is one of those drinks that sounds almost too simple to be as good as it is. Fresh lime, creamy coconut milk, a little sweetness, and ice all get blended together into a cold, frothy drink that tastes like summer.

And yes, sweetened condensed milk or sugar both work. Pick your adventure.

Watch Me Make It

Ingredients

• ½ cup fresh lime juice
• 1 can coconut milk
• ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk or sugar
• 2 cups ice
• ½ cup cold water

Directions

Add the lime juice, coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk or sugar, ice, and cold water to a blender. Blend until smooth and frothy. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed, then serve right away.

Make It Your Own

Sweeten it your way: Sweetened condensed milk makes it extra creamy, while sugar keeps things a little simpler. Start with the recipe amount, taste it, and add more only if you want it sweeter.

Adjust the texture: Use a little less water for a thicker, frostier drink or add a splash more if you want it thinner.

Fresh lime matters here. With only a handful of ingredients, there really isn’t anywhere for bottled lime juice to hide.

Laura’s Tip

Serve this one right after blending while it’s cold and frothy. And taste before you automatically add more sweetener—the tart lime and rich coconut are supposed to balance each other.
