Usage Note

Orangeade in French refers to a still or lightly sparkling orange-flavoured soft drink, which may be made from real juice or from syrup. It is distinct from le jus d'orange (orange juice) and le soda à l'orange (fizzy orange). The suffix -ade is a productive French suffix for fruit-based drinks, as in limonade and citronnade.

Examples
