He found a cleaver way to make lemonade, and some might say he nailed it.

Australian food TikToker and influencer Michael Finch left viewers roaring with laughter after he posted a clip of himself making Brazilian lemonade — but instead of a knife, he used a meat cleaver to cut the citrus.

The 26-year-old also rocked super-long fake nails to boot, leaving him struggling to not only cut the limes, but to complete the recipe.

The video, posted in February, has clawed 3.9 million views.

Brazilian lemonade is made of lime, sugar, condensed milk, water and ice. The blended treat has been making the rounds on TikTok.

In the beginning of the clip, Finch announced, "We are making Brazilian lemonade," as he clutched a meat cleaver and began slicing into limes.

"This has been all over my ‘for you page,'" he continued.

Finch told The Post in an email Wednesday that he didn't think twice about using a meat cleaver.

"The meat cleaver was the first thing I saw closest to me to use as I used it the night prior," he explained.

Meat cleaver aside, things devolved quickly as he worked to follow the recipe.

When Finch went to gather the limes to drop them in the blender, he struggled because his nails, which were adorned with rhinestones, were so long.

He also found it difficult to open a can of condensed milk. He ended up sticking his finger through the pull tab on the lid.

He finally was able to blend the mixture, using his knuckle to press "blend," of course — and in a follow-up video he tasted the concoction, which he labeled "so refreshing."

Finch told The Post he would "deffs" make the drink again.

"What inspired me was seeing heaps of other people doing it on the platform," he shared.

In the comments section of his initial video, many users found the whole process wacky and entertaining.

"The nails and the condensed milk tin had me STRESSED 🫣," one person typed.

Another agreed, writing, "I’m really nervous watching you use the cleaver with those nails lol but you are killing it 😂."

"This made me think of the first time I got my nails done 💅 the nails are the main focus!" someone else commented. "I don't even know what your making 🤣."

However, others criticized him for the video — and the talons.

"I would like to know is this your first time with long nails," one user snarked.

Another commenter seconded, "Are you stressed? because I am stressed after watching this. lol."

"This video angered me," a viewer chimed in.

Finch said he is loving the reaction, even the sour feedback.

"My reaction to the comments is amazing!" he told The Post. "More comments = more engagement = more $."

"Hate or not, it's engagement for my page!" he added.
