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.
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
What’s lemonade in the EU, then?
Or rather, what do you call water, lemon juice and sugar blended together?

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.
Grab a glass, fill it with water, squirt of lemon juice, few tablespoons of sugar, stir, enjoy
Coke is actually lemon flavored though
In Germany, Limonade is usually from oranges, so Fanta.
What is this madness? Limonade is made with lemon and lime. Or at least “limon” which is a hybrid of lemon and lime.
In that case we would usually specify Zitronenlimo.

How does water + sugar + lemon juice = a fizzy drink?
You guys don’t have kool-aid either do you?
Bro never heard of carbonated water
