Just got home from a great trip to Israel, where we had my son’s bar mitzvah.

I drank this everyday and am craving it here at home.

I only have peppermint in the garden, not spearmint. Will have to try it with peppermint, and if it doesn’t quite bring me back to Israel then I’ll have to go out and buy some spearmint. Thanks!

I just made this drink and Googled the ingredients to see if it had a name. Google led me to this page and I made my drink with the exact same shot-glasses. See pic here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150842972681984&set=a.487847976983.261459.598736983&type=1&ref=nf

Cool! I’m sure your limonana came out great — and it’s just as “real” as any we make here!

My church does an annual visit to Jeruselem with the youth, about 20 teens each year, and the group that went last year had this drink and LOVED it, so they made some for a fundraiser for my group’s Journey to Jeruselem this year and it was a big hit! I looked it up to try to make it, and i think it turned out well! I cannot wait to try a real one for myself when I visit Israel this year! Thanks!

Just the thing I need right now. Reminds of the street side stalls in India squeezing out fresh lime/lemon and making the best drink ever.

Hi Marlene, thanks for visiting! It’s good for summers everywhere, I hope. I’m also not such a big drinker.
