Etymology

The word 'limeade' is derived from the combination of 'lime' and the suffix '-ade', which is used to denote a drink made from a specific fruit. The term originated in the early 19th century, with the intention of creating a tantalizing, citrus-flavored refreshment similar to lemonade, which is made with lemons. Limeade became popular in warmer climates where limes were abundant, as it provides a zestier alternative to its lemon counterpart. Its popularity soared due to the refreshing qualities and the appeal of lime's flavor combined with sweetness. Limeade has been associated with summertime gatherings, barbecues, and parties, solidifying its place as a beloved beverage in American culture and beyond.
