The more I make different lemonades, the more I realize that the possibilities truly seem endless. I’m sure you all have so many ways you like to make your own lemonade. And yes, I will admit, when you make this homemade, it seems like a lot of sugar. But remember, these lemonades have no preservatives and this is actually less sugar than many premade options, not to mention absolutely delicious! With flavors of coconut and lime, this recipe is a bit Caribbean-inspired and you’re going to love it!
Garnish with lime slices and let yourself indulge. Cool, crisp and refreshing….need I say more? It’s the perfect ending to a fabulous lemonade week!

.This looks yummy but when I tried to make it, the coconut cream solidified in the chilling process. It didn’t look appetizing and was a bit oily. Is this a natural occurance?
I think you may have used the wrong coconut product. It is important to buy “cream of coconut” and not just coconut cream, what you used will solidify and separate. Sorry for the confusion!
