The History of Lemonade:

Lemonade refers to an uncarbonated mixture of lemon juice, sugar and water.

• Lemonade was invented in 1630 in Paris.
• Despite its Parisian roots, lemonade in Europe is quite different nowadays – it’s carbonated, meaning it is carbonated sweet lemon flavored soft drink.
• Lemonade is called “lemonade” and not “lemon juice” like “orange juice”; because it is a mixture of lemon juice, sugar and water, which is why it’s called “lemonade.” Orange juice and apple juice mixed with water and sugar could be called orangeade.

Lemons:

• Lemons are originally from northern India. The name means “golden apple”.
• Lemon trees were grown as ornamental trees in Mediterranean gardens. Lemonade is believed to have been invented in Egypt over 1,500 years ago. Lemonade originally started as a lemon and honey wine.
• About one fourth of the world’s lemons are grown in the United States, mostly in California. A lemon tree may bear as many as 3,000 lemons annually.

The Term Lemonade Has Other Meanings:

• “If life give you lemons, make lemonade” – a popular quote by Dale Carnegie, meaning one should make the best of bad situations.
• “Depression lemonade” refers to the practice of asking for a glass of water with lemon at a restaurant, then squeezing lemon into the water and mixing in sugar packets to make free lemonade.
• “I’ve got a lemon” – the lemon law.
