📜 History

Limonana is a refreshing frozen lemonade with mint that originated in the Middle East, with both Israel and Lebanon claiming its invention. The name combines "limon" (lemon) and "nana" (mint in Arabic and Hebrew). The drink rose to popularity in the 1990s and has become a ubiquitous summer refreshment throughout the Levant region. Its perfect balance of tart citrus and cooling mint makes it ideal for the hot Mediterranean climate.
