Swiss lemonade,[1] limonada suíça or Brazilian lemonade (Portuguese pronunciation: [limoˈnadɐ suˈisɐ]) is a type of Brazilian limeade made of lime pieces with peel, ice cubes, sugar, and water. The ingredients are usually beaten together in a blender and then strained. There are several versions of this drink, including one with condensed milk (Portuguese: limonada suíça com leite condensado).[2]
The word lemonade is used since lime is known as Tahitian lemon (Portuguese: limão-taiti) in Brazil.
