This classic drink is not to be trifled with. Brazilian Lemonade is delicious, creamy, tart and sweet, this summer beverage is always a winner, with adults and kids alike.
Blending in a creamy bright olive oil, like Hojiblanca, is perfect here to balance the citrus and compliment the sweetness from the milk. If you can find a Brazilian olive oil, it’s definitely a fun one to try here as well! The olive oil gives the drink an even creamier texture and mouth feel. It’s a match made in heaven. I would love to use this olive oil here, if I couldn’t find an hojiblanca, as it is fruity on the palate and not to peppery.
