Morir Soñando de Limón Recipe
Morir Soñando de Limón is a creamy Dominican lime drink made with evaporated milk, fresh lime juice, vanilla, and simple syrup. It has the same creamy feel as the classic, with lime instead of orange.
Equipment
- Pitcher
- Spoon or whisk
- Measuring cups
- Citrus juicer
- Serving glasses
Ingredients
- 1 cup evaporated milk very cold, evaporated milk 2%
- ⅓ cup fresh lime juice
- ⅔ cup cold water
- ½ cup simple syrup (might not use all)
- 1 to 1 ½ cups ice
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch salt optional
Instructions
- Make sure the evaporated milk, lime juice, and water are all very cold before you begin. I like to chill them in the refrigerator for at least 2 to 4 hours, or overnight if planning ahead.
- In a pitcher, stir together the fresh lime juice, cold water, simple syrup, and a pinch of salt.
- Taste the lime mixture and add more simple syrup a little at a time until it reaches your preferred sweetness.
- Add the ice to the pitcher or divide it between serving glasses.
- Slowly pour in the cold evaporated milk while stirring constantly until the drink looks smooth and creamy.
- Taste again and add a little more simple syrup if needed.
- Serve immediately while very cold.
Notes
- You may not need the full 1/2 cup of simple syrup. Start with 1/2 of it and add more to taste.
- Keep all of the ingredients very cold for the smoothest texture.
- This drink is best served right after it is made.
- If the drink tastes too sweet, add 1 teaspoon of fresh lime juice or 1 tablespoon of cold water at a time until balanced.
