As an American, I’d say that if anything, the “-ade” suffix here specifically implies a non-carbonated drink made of fruit juice, water, and sugar. If I bought lemonade, orangeade, etc and it was carbonated and had artificial flavoring I would think I got the wrong product.
TBH this thread has flabbergasted me, I had no idea lemonade was considered to be anything else.
