Holy Week lemonade or, as it is known in Spain, Leonese lemonade [1][2][3] is a traditional drink from León made out of wine, lemons, sugar and cinnamon (sometimes, fruits such as raisins and figs are also included).[4][5][6] It can take from three to eight days to prepare, depending on the recipe. Traditionally, it was drunk at any festive event, although nowadays it is customarily served during Holy Week.
