Lemonade is a beverage traditionally made with water, lemon juice, and sugar that is usually served cold over ice. While first appearing in Egypt around 700 CE, lemonade was commercially produced and sold starting in 16th century Paris. There are different types of lemonade around the world, with traditional American "cloudy lemonade" called clear lemonade in some places and lemon-lime soda in parts of Europe and Asia. Pink lemonade stories of red dye or fruit juice additions are thought to be fictional, as lemons themselves do not cause a pink color. The health benefits of lemonade come from its vitamin C, but potential risks are associated with its high fructose levels generally from corn or sugar cane
