Why Is It Called Lemonade And Not Lemon Juice?
Lemonade is a sweetened lemon-flavored drink, while lemon juice is simply the juice of a lemon. The name “lemonade” came from the fact that the original recipe included sweeteners such as sugar or honey to balance the sourness of the lemon juice, making it more enjoyable to drink. Over time, other flavors and variations have been added to lemonade, but the name has remained the same.
