Preparation

• In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 cup of water; heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar completely dissolves, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
• Roll limes firmly on a countertop, then cut them in half and squeeze out all the juice (about 1.5 cups), straining through a fine-mesh sieve to remove pulp or seeds.
• In a large blender, pour in the cooled simple syrup, fresh lime juice, and the 13.5-ounce can of full-fat coconut milk.
• Blend on high speed for approximately 1-2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and slightly frothy.
• Taste the limeade and adjust for sweetness with more simple syrup or for intensity with a splash of water, if desired.
• Pour the limeade into a pitcher, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, then serve over ice, garnished with a lime wheel or toasted coconut flakes.
