"I used to work at Tucanos, and this is the authentic recipe for their signature beverage. Try it as is, or try it with other fruit juices mixed in."

How do you make the piranha!?!?

Oh yes I love the Tucanos Brazilian Lemonade. The recipe calls for 4 cups limes, quartered. Would it be safe to say that that might be a total of approximately 10 limes? My favorite one they have is the Pineapple Brazilian Lemonade version. How can I incorporate the pineapple flavor? Thanks, Linda

Wow! This was spot on! I made this in a tall Ninja and needed to hold for five seconds for it to really get to all the lemons. Strained quickly thru a small metal mesh strainer. I used a total of 10 lemons.

I made this tonight for dinner. I cheated and used the juicer and included raspberries. It was awesome!!! -
I made this for Mother's Day and it was a hit! My boys think I am magic or something! -
Drinks like agua de limon and lemonade are regular requests in my house, and I really loved how much easier it is to blend the whole limes and strain the mixture, rather than squeeze a bazillion little fresh limes for juice like I usually do! I enjoyed it as-is, but I suspect that it would be just as good with less than 2 cups of sugar in it. I was a little worried that this would be bitter because of the lime peels, but nope, it came out just fine. This was a perfect refreshment for the recent "summer in spring" weather we've been having lately, thanks for posting! Made for PAC Spring 2012

Add 1 1/2 cups of guava nectar to the finished limeade. It gives it a tropical twist!
