FAQ

How long does it take to make this drink? It takes about 5-10 minutes to whip up, so it's a really quick treat to beat the heat.

Can I make it sweeter if I like a sweeter drink? Yup, if you want it sweeter, just add simple syrup or a bit of sugar to taste.

What other fruits can I add for a change? Some people mix in a little pineapple or orange juice for an extra twist in flavor.

What kind of coconut milk should be used? Full-fat coconut milk works best, but you can try light coconut milk if you're looking for a lighter option.

Easy Frozen Limonada De Coco Colombian Lime And Coconut Drink Recipe Substitutions and Variations

For the lime juice, you can totally use lemon or key lime juice if you cant find fresh limes, just be careful with the measurements cause they can be a bit stronger.
If you dont have full-fat coconut milk, you can mix coconut cream with some water, or try almond milk and add a few drops of coconut extract to keep that tropical vibe.
You can swap ice cubes for frozen limeade cubes if you wanna amp up the flavor even more, or just use crushed ice for a different texture.
If you’re looking for an alternative to white rum for that adults only twist, vodka is a solid option, or you can use a different kind of rum that you like better.

Pro Tips

1. Try using limes that are really ripe and have been kept in the fridge a bit beforehand so they give a sweeter, more intense flavor when juiced.
2. If your drink tastes too sour, don’t be afraid to mix in a little extra coconut milk or a pinch of sugar. Sometimes a tiny tweak can make a huge difference.
3. When you’re blending, give the sides a few scrapes so everything mixes evenly. It’s a simple hack that really helps avoid any chunky bits.
4. If you wanna add the rum, pour it in after the first blend and give it a quick stir instead of blending again. This keeps its kick from getting too muted.
