Ingredients

  • 1 lime, scrubbed and washed, plus wedges for serving
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 1/3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
  • 2/3 cup cold water
  • 2/3 cup ice, plus more for serving

Instructions

  1. Cut off and discard the tips of the lime, then cut the lime into quarters.
  2. In a blender, combine the lime, sugar, sweetened condensed milk, water, and ice.
  3. Pulse the mixture in the blender 5 to 8 times until the ingredients are just combined, ensuring that pieces of lime rind may still be visible.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass pitcher or bowl with a spout, using the back of a spoon to push out as much liquid as possible, and discard the solids.
  5. Pour the drink into a tall, ice-filled glass, garnish with a lime wedge, and serve immediately.
