      Since I don’t speak EU, I can only tell you, what it’s called in German. And that would be

      • Zitronenwasser
      • Zitronenschorle
      • Süßer Sprudel
      • Wasser mit Zitronensaft und Zucker
      • selbstgemachte Limonade

      I don’t really know. It doesn’t have much cultural presence here. We have our own drinks that we drink all the time and have names for like Bionade, Schorle, Fassbrause, Radler.

      Speaking to 28 countries with 24 languages “WhAt Do YoU cAlL tHiS?”

      Not that the UK is in the EU anymore, but we’d call that “Still lemonade”, still meaning not sparkling.

      Not to be confused with “Flat lemonade”, which would just be regular “sparkling” lemonade which has lost its bubbles and now tastes rancid.

      Most places all fruit flavored pop are called lemonade. Where I live even mint and coke can be called that.

      I don’t think I’ve ever had real lemonade, only sprite.

      Even the real Lemonade in Europe is fizzy, so it actually is closer to Sprite than you’d think.

      Obviously Spite isn’t really lemonade it’s soda, but that’s also not really a word that exists in Europe. It’s known about and it’s understood especially in more recent times, but historically it’s not really a word you’d commonly use.

      So because Lemonade is sparkling, and the word soda isn’t really used, you can kind of see how people would then say well Sprite is Lemonade.

      Lemonade for me (and google) is a homemade recipe with lemon + water with or without sugar syrup, I guess it depends on the country. I also never see Sprite at parties… just Fanta, Cola and our sodas
