I see on the Wikipedia article it seems to say that lemonade in the USA is flat, not fizzy? I think this is where I confused your question and we got our wires crossed. Anything that ended “ade” in the UK is a fizzy drink, like a pop/soda. Lemonade, cherryade, orangeade etc. Schweppes, Barr’s etc make lemonade like that, clear, sweet fizzy and just lemon flavour.
I can’t think of a drink that’s fresh lemon juice as described on wiki over here. There is squash, or cordial, diluted juice with water. But lemon wasn’t common or popular to the best of my knowledge. I’ll look when I’m in asda the morn now though, just to see for curiosity.
As an American, I’d say that if anything, the “-ade” suffix here specifically implies a non-carbonated drink made of fruit juice, water, and sugar. If I bought lemonade, orangeade, etc and it was carbonated and had artificial flavoring I would think I got the wrong product.
TBH this thread has flabbergasted me, I had no idea lemonade was considered to be anything else.
