A cold beverage made with citron juice, water, and sugar, similar to lemonade but made with citron instead of lemon.
From French 'citronade,' combining 'citron' (citron fruit) with the suffix '-ade' (common in French for fruit drinks like 'lemonade' and 'orangeade')—a refreshing drink that predates modern lemonade.
Citronade was the fancy European ancestor of lemonade—while Americans were perfecting lemon squash, French aristocrats were sipping citronade at garden parties in the 1800s!
