This was way tasty. I skipped the ice (our blender can't seem to make the ice bits smaller than chunks, bleh), but kept everything else the same. I didn't end up blending it, I just mixed it till the granulated sugar dissolved. Very yummy, tasted a lot like the lemonade at Tucanos (Brazilian Grill).

Very refreshing! The condensed milk gives a creamy texture. I will have to say that I grew up in Brazil and have never tasted this type of lemonade down there, I guess is because it's a big country and it may be popular in some areas only. I still have some left and I will try adding some brazilian cachaca that I bought once at the airport and never had a chance to use it. Thanks for the recipe!

Sometimes I blend the limes in a bit longer and only pull out the big chunks and the peel instead of straining it. I cannot stress how good this "lemonade" is.

It is a quick and easy recipe - tastes good, too. I might add one more lime next time.

I thought this was really good. I followed my husbands advice and zested the lime into the blender instead of blending the whole lime. Other than a few big chunks of lime peel, we both really enjoyed this drink. I think next time I'll blend everything except for the ice, than strain the drink before adding the ice and blending together again. I also added more lime than called for because I wanted it a little more zesty! This was yummy, try it!

This is a great summer cocktail. I took Miss Powers advice and used 1 c. rum, 1 c. coconut water and 1 c. water instead of 3 c. water. The only thing I'd change is next time I might use a little less sugar. This recipe is a keeper!!! Thanks!!!

I like this. It's not my favourite but I like it. DO NOT USE THE WHOLE LIME. It WILL be way too bitter/sour. Zest it a bit if you like but peel the rest. After peeling I added the limes, the sugar a 1 cup of water, blended it, then strained it, put it back in the blender the finish it with the rest of the water and the condensed milk.

Absolutely yummy! I made it for my family who doesn't drink, but next time, it's going to have rum, or maybe tequila in it. The sweetened condensed milk gives it a really great flavor and creamy texture.

This drink was disappointing after such terrific reviews. I did strain the lime mixture before adding the milk, as someone had suggested, which I think was a good change. Unfortunately, I think the sweetened condensed milk made it taste artificial - more like I was drinking a Slushie or melted lime ice cream instead of "pure" limeade. It tasted good, but it wasn't what I was hoping it would be.

Very good and simple to make! It's light and refreshing--just be sure not to pulse too much or it will be a little bitter. Thanks for a great recipe.

I made this exactly as the recipe directed, and I had to throw most of it out. I think if I just slice the limes and squeeze the juice into the blend instead of blending in the peels as well, this would be a big improvement. The end result was very difficult to strain, and it was way too bitter. I added extra sugar, but even then it was too sour for anyone in my family to enjoy. Sorry!

I was a little skeptic, but this was great. I did use three limes because mine were small. I can't wait to make a few pitchers of this for our end-of-the-summer block party.

This is too easy and too good. It is an instant crow pleaser. It is an expensive exotic looking drinks for pennies. It went so quickly that I quickly had to make a second batch, on requests. No one had ever had it before and everyone loved it. Thanks for sharing.

I didn't follow the recipe exactly. I sliced the limes into wedges and squeezed them into a pitcher. I added the sweetened condensed milk, and then the sugar. I mixed them a little, then added the water. I stirred everything together, leaving the pulp from the squeezed limes. We thought it was a little on the sweet side, but other than that, it was really good!
