Homemade limeade
Limeade is popular in tropical countries, such as Jamaica, where limes are common.
West Indies and the Caribbean
In the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos, like lemonade, limeade is often referred to as "switcha" or "switcher".
Asia
It is one of the most popular drinks in India and Pakistan and is known as nimbu paani or limbu pani; lemons can also be used for nimbu paani.
Limeade is also widely available in Thailand and other parts of Southeast Asia due to the abundance of limes and relative rarity of lemons, as lemons are not a native species. A Thai-styled limeade tastes salty, and sometimes does not have any sugar.
