After sharing lemon cream cheese danish and lemon sweet roll recipes earlier this year, I guess I needed a lemon drink to go along with them! And this creamy lemonade does not disappoint! It’s sweet, tart and oh so creamy! The perfect drink for hot summer days!

This drink is very similar to the Brazilian Limeade recipe Caitlin shared years ago. If you’re a fan of limes, go check out that recipe!

This creamy lemonade is easy to make and only two ingredients (if you don’t count the water & ice!). The longest part was squeezing the lemons, which I think could have been a lot easier for me if I invested in a new lemon juicer! (I’m thinking about getting this lemon squeezer, it looks like it could make juicing lemons a lot quicker of a task!). Once the lemons are juiced, it’s just stirring in sweetened condensed milk, water and ice. And then you’ve got a cold, creamy lemon drink!
