Lemonade is a sweetened lemon-flavored drink that may be carbonated or un-carbonated; when carbonated, it is sometimes called a lemon soda. There are many varieties of lemonade found throughout the world. Historically and in many parts of the world, lemonade refers to an un-carbonated beverage, traditionally homemade, using lemon juice, water, and a sweetener such as cane sugar, simple syrup, maple syrup or honey. In other parts of the world, it is most commonly a reference to a carbonated lemon-flavoured soft drink or soda. Despite the differences between the drinks, each is known simply as "lemonade" in countries where it is dominant.
