Turn of the 19th century

[edit]
Good questions; the 19th century statement was a typo, I went and corrected. I wasn't able to find the entymology but, as with most things pseudo-French, the location is likely to be the Western English-speaking world (even more likely those in the Upper-class); though one would need to find reference to these issues to add in the article.

Chocolate lemonade

[edit]

It's mentioned in the text, but it sounds very odd. What exactly is this? Ordinary lemonade with cocoa powder? Cold chocolate with lemonade in it?

I would say it's probably something like lemonade with chocolate flakes in it, but I've found most recipes online call for syrup[1][2]. It does seem kind of weird, but I've also found lemonade with lavender[3]; watermelon, rum, and blackberry liqueur[4]; and even milk, club soda, and vodka[5]... I'm sure that a century ago the drink was known more widely, as Miss Manners had the resources to mention it as being drunk at a chocolataire[6]. More than likely, folks back then would find themselves sick to hear of the modern "lemonade diet" fad that combines lemon juice with cayenne pepper and maple syrup [7] -- next to that delightful concoction, I would say lemonade and chocolate, in any combination, would seem normal by comparison!

(as a side note, I don't recommend going to the urban dictionary when searching for chocolate lemonade...)
