Orangeade is a carbonated drink with an orange. It is similar to lemonade and limeade. The drink first appeared as a variety of carbonated drink provided in soda fountains in American drugstores in the late nineteenth century, brands including Miner's and Lash's. A recipe for home made Orangeade appears in editions of Fannie Farmer's cookbook.

During WWII the German division of Coca-Cola was unable to make its usual product due to the trade embargo. Instead the company developed an orangeade drink called Fanta for Fantastique. After the war the Coca-Cola company sold Fanta in other markets.

Minute Maid currently markets a brand of non-carbonated beverage labeled "Orangeade."[1]
