### In the lessons

In maths it is a liquid in cups or litres, often sold at a lemonade stand for a price per cup; cups sold × price per cup gives money made, and minus the cost of lemons and sugar gives profit. In everyday life children run lemonade stands in summer to earn pocket money. Saying: «When life gives you lemons, make lemonade» (make the best of a bad thing).

### Note

Usually uncountable (some lemonade), but countable for a glass or bottle (two lemonades, please). Meaning differs by country: still and cloudy in the USA and Canada, often fizzy and clear in the UK and Australia. Maths trap: money made is not profit; subtract what the lemons and cups cost.
