1 cup (medium) of Cool Lime Drink (240 g) has 53 calories. That works out to 22 calories per 100 g. It contains 12.5 g of carbs, 0.2 g of protein, 0 g of fat and 0.5 g of fiber. Its 19.2 mg of Vitamin C covers 21% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 50 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
Cool Lime Drink is a chilled, lime-flavoured beverage, commonly served with water, ice and mint. Café versions may include sweetener or syrup, so the balance of citrus and sweetness can vary from one recipe to another.
Its bright, tangy taste and fresh mint aroma make it especially appealing on warm days. It is often enjoyed over ice as a café refreshment, either on its own or alongside a light snack. At 22 calories per 100 g, it is a relatively light choice compared with many sweetened soft drinks, though its carbohydrates mainly come from sugars. If you prefer a sharper, less sweet drink, ask for less syrup where customisation is available.

A Cool Lime Drink is a chilled lime-and-mint beverage, commonly served over ice. Café versions may also contain sweetener and green coffee extract, while homemade recipes often use lime juice, mint, water, and optional sugar.
A Cool Lime Drink typically gets its flavor from lime and mint. Some café recipes also use sugar syrup and green coffee extract; homemade versions can be made with lime juice, fresh mint, cold water, and a sweetener if desired.
Some café versions of a Cool Lime Drink contain caffeine because they use green coffee extract; a homemade version made only with lime, mint, and water does not. The caffeine amount depends on the café's recipe.
Make a Cool Lime Drink by lightly muddling fresh mint with lime juice, then adding cold water and ice. Add a little sugar syrup if you want it sweeter; avoid crushing the mint too hard, which can make it taste bitter.
A café-style Cool Lime Drink is often sweetened with syrup, but the sweetness varies by recipe. For a less sweet homemade version, reduce or skip the sweetener and adjust the lime and water to taste.
No, a Cool Lime Drink is usually distinguished by its fresh mint flavor and is often served as a café-style iced drink. Limeade is generally a simpler lime-and-sugar drink, though recipes for both can vary.
Yes, you can make a Cool Lime Drink without mint, but it will lose the characteristic cooling, herbal flavor. Lime juice, cold water, and ice still make a refreshing drink; cucumber or basil can add a different fresh note.
Yes, sparkling water works in a Cool Lime Drink and gives it a fizzy finish. Stir it in gently after combining the lime and mint, so you keep as much carbonation as possible.
A Cool Lime Drink can taste bitter if lime peel or pith is squeezed into it, or if mint leaves are crushed too aggressively. Use lime juice rather than heavily pressed slices, and bruise the mint gently to release its aroma.
A homemade Cool Lime Drink is best the day it is made. Keep it covered and refrigerated; over time the mint can darken, lime slices may add bitterness, and ice will dilute the flavor.
