Lemonade is a drink that has been flavoured with lemons, and normally sweetened with sugar as lemons are quite sour to the taste.
The precise definition of lemonade varies. In the United Kingdom and some other countries, lemonade refers to a commercially purchased carbonated (usually) soft drink that has been flavoured with lemons. Some types that are commonly called "lemonade" are actually lemon and lime drinks, such as Sprite. Most of the commercially available true lemonades that don't contain lime are clear drinks, but cloudy is another popular variety and yellow lemonade is a more uncommon one.
In the United States and Canada, lemonade refers to a different drink - which in the UK would be called home-made lemonade - that is normally made at home, although it can be purchased fresh. In this drink, water is mixed with sugar and lemon juice, although slices of lemon are also used where they are placed at the bottom of the glass or pitcher, the sugar is put on top, and then water is added. Lemon slices are commonly added to the drink even if lemon juice is used to make it.
