Limes are called "limones" " (lee-mone-ayes) in South America, which can be confusing to English speakers. So although this drink is called a "limonada frozen" in Spanglish, it is really a frozen
limeade drink. It is very tart and refreshing, and is my son's absolute favorite, although he warns that it may give you "brain freeze."
