What is Lemonade?
Lemonade is a sugared citrus drink thought to have first been made in France in the 16th century. At the time, it was a simple mixture of lemon juice, water, and sugar, or usually other sweeteners since cane sugar is a New World food. Today in Europe and in other continents, you’ll find many lemonades differing from the American version. If you’re in New Zealand or Ireland and you order a lemonade, you might just get a drink like Sprite®.
