It is found in North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East,[2] and is attested since the early 20th century.[3][4]

It may be mixed with still or sparkling water.

There are also bottled versions.[citation needed]

Adding spirits

Various spirits may be added to it, including arak,[14][15][16] tequila ("mint margarita"), bourbon (a "lemon and mint julep"),[17][18] gin,[19] etc.

As a flavor

Names

In the Arab world it is called “limon na-naa”.

In Israel, it is called limonana, a

portmanteau of limon Hebrew: לימון 'lemon' and naʿnaʿ Hebrew: נענע 'mint'.[20][21] The word was coined for an advertising campaign to promote bus advertising, in which various celebrities were shown promoting a drink called "Limonana", a blend of lemon and mint, which was in the end revealed to be fictitious.[22][23][24][6]
