A lemon-lime soft drink or lemon-lime soda (also known as lemonade in the United Kingdom, Australia[1] and New Zealand and as cider in Japan[2] and South Korea[3]) is a carbonated soft drink with lemon and lime flavoring.
Description
Lemon-lime soft drinks are typically colourless; however, coloured varieties such as Limca are also available. Similar in appearance and flavor to the clear varieties of lemonade found in the UK and Australia, lemon-lime soft drinks are often packaged in green bottles to better distinguish them from soda water.
