An ade is a beverage made from diluted fruit juice and sweetener, certain cheap imitations of traditional ades use carbonated water. It is usually used as a suffix, as in lemonade, limeade and orangeade. An ade is generally a combination of fruit juice, sugar and water.

Similar beverages that do not contain fruit juice have the suffix “aid”, like Kool-Aid.

Ade is also used as a suffix in several brand names, including Lucozade, Powerade, Sporade and Gatorade, all of which are marketed as sports drinks.
