Mint lemonade is lemonade flavored with mint. It may be made with whole mint leaves, mint-flavored syrup, or pureed mint leaves, and may be served over ice cubes or blended with ice into a slush or smoothie. It is sometimes called a virgin mojito. [1]
It is found in North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, [2] and is attested since the early 20th century. [3] [4]
The mint flavor may be added to lemonade in various ways:
It may be mixed with still or sparkling water.
It may be served over ice, or blended with ice to make a slush, smoothie, or granita. [10]
There are also bottled versions.[ citation needed]
Variants may add ingredients such as ginger, [11] maple syrup, [12] lime juice, [13] black salt and apple juice. [1]
Various spirits may be added to it, including arak, [14] [15] [16] tequila ("mint margarita"), bourbon (a " lemon and mint julep"), [17] [18] gin, [19] etc.
Mint lemonade may also be made into sorbets, ice pops, and so on.[ citation needed]
In the Arab world it is called “limon na-naa”.
In Israel, it is called limonana, a portmanteau of limon Hebrew: לימון 'lemon' and naʿnaʿ Hebrew: נענע 'mint'. [20] [21] The word was coined for an advertising campaign to promote bus advertising, in which various celebrities were shown promoting a drink called "Limonana", a blend of lemon and mint, which was in the end revealed to be fictitious.
