Limeade is a sweetened lime-flavored beverage that can serve as a refreshing mixer in various cocktails. Its bright, tart flavor makes it an excellent base for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

When used in cocktails, limeade offers a zesty citrus kick that complements the flavors of many spirits, including tequila, vodka, and rum. It is often used to simplify the creation of drinks that typically require fresh lime juice and sweetener, such as margaritas or daiquiris.

Limeade can also be combined with herbs, spices, or other fruit juices to create complex, flavorful concoctions that are both appealing and easy to prepare.
