In my book, anything that has sweetened condensed milk is bound to be good. These are no exception! We had them with our dinner tonight and the missionaries asked for the recipe so I thought I'd pass it along to you as well.
Brazilian Lemonade
4 juicy limes (try and find ones with thin, smooth skins; they’re the
juiciest and the thin skin cuts down on the chance of your drink being
bitter)
1 c. sugar
6 c. cold water
6 Tbsp. sweetened condensed milk
Mix cold water and sugar very well and chill until ready to use. This step can be done ahead of time.
Wash limes thoroughly with soap. Cut the ends off
the limes and then cut each lime into 8ths.
Place 1/2 of the limes in your blender.
Add 1/2 of the sugar water, place the lid on your blender, and pulse several
times. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a pitcher (the one you’ll serve
the lemonade in) and pour the blended mixture through the strainer and
into the pitcher. Use a spoon to press the rest of the liquid into the
pitcher. Dump the pulp and stuff in the strainer into the trash. Repeat
with remaining limes and sugar water. Add sweetened condensed milk and whisk. You may
want to taste test it at this point; I used giant, thick-skinned limes
tonight and didn’t test it and it came out a little bitter. If it’s
bitter, just add some more sugar and maybe a little more milk.
Serve
immediately over lots of ice. This does not keep well, so don’t make
this in advance (although you can cut the limes, mix the sugar water,
and measure the sweetened condensed milk in advance).

We made this too while the Coloradans were visiting and it is so good. Mom thought we should try it with oranges too so it would be like a creamsicle and with lemons (since it's called lemonade but made with limes??). We did try to lemons and oddly enough it doesn't have a very strong flavor at all. The limes were much better. Perhaps we'll try it with oranges sometime this winter.
