Lemonade with mint and lime is a refreshing drink that has become a symbol of summer relaxation and lightness. It is believed that lemonades appeared in Europe during the Middle Ages, but it is the combination of lime and mint that gives this drink its modern freshness. Lime adds a subtle citrus tang, while mint fills it with a cool aroma. Sweetness can be adjusted with sugar to create the perfect balance of flavors. This lemonade is ideal for hot days, quenching thirst well and can be served as a standalone drink or as a base for cocktails. Its simplicity makes it accessible for any occasion – whether it's a picnic, party, or just a moment of enjoyment in the shade of a tree. A few ice cubes turn it into a true elixir of summer freshness.
