Temperatures are starting to warm up. Spring is on its way! Brazilian limonada is a delicious and refreshing drink to cool down on a warm day. The word for lime in Portuguese is limão, so in Portuguese the drink is called limonada, which translates to lemonade despite being made with limes. The limes are thrown into the blender whole which seems a little unorthodox, but it gets so much flavor out of your limes from the juice and zest. Both junior and senior chefs loved this drink!
