limonade

lemonade, lemon soda

noun lee-moh-NAHD Rare

Usage Note

Limonade in France typically refers to a fizzy lemon-flavoured soda (like a clear lemon soft drink), not the still lemonade common in English-speaking countries. It is a staple in French cafés, often mixed with beer to make a panaché. Still lemonade made with fresh lemons is usually called citronnade.

Examples

"Elle a commandé une limonade au café."

Natural Translation

She ordered a lemon soda at the café.
