Is there a distinction between lemonade and "cloudy lemonade"? Here lemonade is just lemon juice, sugar, and water. Sorry for all the questions, it's just curious to learn about the differences between the US and the UK.

Figure the difference is in the name, the cloudy sort is simply opaque as the water/juice ratio is more towards juice.

Doesn't cloudy lemonade exist in the US? Fairly certain it does.

i think cloudy lemonade is what americans would call lemonade but fizzy.

"lemonade" is fizzy muck like 7up but without the lime.

All lemonade is cloudy here, but I'm wondering what "clear" lemonade is, exactly.

Chemically refined, I shouldn't wonder.

My dad always told us when we were young if you wanted lemonade in the USA you should ask for 7-Up. And if you wanted HP sauce you should ask for A1 sauce.

It's amazing what you have to go through when you shift to a Tumble Tower-based economy...

A1 + an American steak = yum.

Is now a good time to bring up the peculiarity that is Northern Ireland's Brown Lemonade again?

Isn't part of the problem that the same dish from two Indian takeaways can be vastly different?

Nah, it's a home made thing.
