Meanwhile, in Germany: Limo

To add oil to the fire, “Limo” is a shortened “Limonade”, the German equivalent of “lemonade”. “Limonade” is understood to be any carbonated soft drink, including colas.

That means that in Germany lemonade does not have to contain lemons and American-style homemade lemonade typically wouldn’t be considered lemonade in Germany since it’s not carbonated.

Ahh, clarity of language…

If I want a lemonade, as in the lemo juice+water+sugar combo, what exactly do I ask for?
Zitronenlimonade, which translates to lemon lemonade
I for sure won’t end up with Sprite?
