Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Red lemonade (Template:Langx) is a soft drink sold in Ireland and regarded as distinctively a part of the cultural identity of Irish people.[1]
Lemonade in Ireland traditionally comes in three varieties – red, brown and white. All three are lemon-flavoured, but there is a marked difference in taste between the varieties.[2] Red lemonade is particularly associated with festive occasions,[3][4] but can also be a folk remedy.[5]
Red lemonade is drunk on its own and is also served as a mixer with spirits in Ireland, particularly in whiskey.[6][7] Major brands of red lemonade include TK (formerly Taylor Keith), Country Spring, Finches, Nash's, Maine, and C&C.[7][8] There was an urban myth that European Union authorities had banned red lemonade,[9] but in fact the authorities had simply banned a carcinogenic dye.[10][11]
