here in colombia there is a drink additive called Kola Granulada and it's basically a multivitamin with cola extract. It's pretty tasty and everyone adds it to all sorts of juices including lemonade. I like in with orange and passionfruit juice.
Lemonade isn't carbonated, it's lemon juice, water, and sugar. Cola has dozens of ingredients, most of which aren't available to private consumers, it has caffeine, it's carbonated, it tastes nothing like lemonade, and, as it's recipe is almost always proprietary, said recipe is obviously not commonly known or easily replicated. I guess I just don't see it.

Plus caffeine, carbonation, and way more sugar.

Cola generally has less sugar than lemonade. (And orange juice, for that matter.)

Lemonade has sugar and carbonation?

It doesn't have carbonation in it that I've ever had in lemonade

All store bought lemonade is carbonated here 😅 I had to think if I've ever had uncarbonated lemonade before

At Wendy's you can add a shot of lime to your coke using that machine there. But there's no rum button…

Have you ever made lemonade?

Here in the US, we like our veins full of corn syrup. It's not real sugar anymore

In that it is a sugary carbonated beverage served cold, just with different flavour than traditional lemonade

there's just primary and secondary plant metabolic substances. and spices, herbs, etc. fall in the second category
