Although this refreshing drink went viral on TikTok last summer, it's been around a lot longer. Yes, you may have noticed, the drink is called lemonade, but it's made with limes. Brazilian lemonade is thought to have originated in Brazil by a street vendor. According to All Recipes, in Brazil, the drink is called limonada Suíça, which translates to Swiss lemonade. The beverage isn't Swiss, but the Swiss company, Nestlé, began selling condensed milk in Brazil in the 1900s, which could be where the drink got its name.
