A glass of limeade

Limeade is a beverage similar to lemonade, but is made with lime juice or lime flavour instead of lemon. A.G. Barr plc of Glasgow produce a limeade, as does Newman's Own since 2004. Most major beverage companies now offer their own brand of limeade,[citation needed] with Minute Maid even introducing a Cherry Limeade drink in response to the popularity of Limeade.[1]

A carbonated version is often made of 7up mixed with the juice of several limes.[citation needed] Sonic Drive-In uses Sprite instead of 7up to create its popular limeade.[2]

It is one of the most popular drinks in India and Pakistan and is known as nimbu paani or limbu pani;[3] lemons can also be used for nimbu paani.

Limes are more common in tropical countries such as Guyana and Trinidad so Limeade is popular.

Limeade is also widely available in Thailand and other parts of Southeast Asia due to the abundance of limes and relative rarity of lemons, as lemons are not a native species.[citation needed]
