Limeade or lime juice? I think it is so wrong in North America to say limeade. Very wrong English.?

Update:

Then what about mango juice, strawberry juice or pineapple juice? Every juice needs to add a little bit of sugar, salt, ice and water.

    Limeade is akin to Lemonade except made with limes. Lime juice is the juice from a lime, unadorned

    How do you make lemonade? You mix lemon juice with water, maybe 2 or 3 lemons to a quart. You add sugar. Then I like to throw the squeezed lemons in there too to get some that sharp flavor from the skin. That's lemonade, not lemon juice, right?

    Well what if you made it with limes? Wouldn't that be limeade? It's not very common here. But it's still ade, not juice. If you squeeze limes, what you get is lime juice.

    Limeada and lime juice are two different things.

    Lime juice, by legal definition, would just be straight lime juice.

    "ade" is when you make a drink using lime juice and other ingredients. "Ade" is watered down juice, usually with sugar added.

  • You drink limeade usually. But we usually have lemonade (yellow). Lime juice is straight extract used for cooking

    Juice is no sugar or additives. The -ade suffix indicates a juice is sweetened and has things added to it. It's always been such.
