Questions

What can I use instead of sweetened condensed milk in Coconut Lime Cooler?

The entry for Coconut Lime Cooler calls for 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk. In its place: There is no quick swap. Simmer two cups of milk with two thirds of a cup of sugar until reduced by half, about 35 minutes.

Can I make Coconut Lime Cooler dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Coconut Lime Cooler is 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk. Swap the sweetened condensed milk for a plant-based version of the same product. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Is Coconut Lime Cooler vegan?

No, though it is vegetarian. What keeps it from vegan is 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk. For fully plant-based entries, see the vegan non-alcoholic drink collection.

Can I batch Coconut Lime Cooler for a group?

Yes. As written it serves 2. Halved, the limes drops from 4 to 2; doubled, it is 8. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. To make a pitcher, multiply everything and stir over ice at the end.
