Lemonade Soap

[KiwiMoose]

Just cut this one. Lemonade in NZ is what you 'mericans call 'Sprite' or '7-Up'. The FO is called lemongrass and citrus zest, but I reckon it smells like lemonade, so that's what I'm calling it. I used the blue and green for a bit of interest - otherwise plain yellow soap was going to be a bit boring. Wish I hadn't swirled it quite so much. It's a fine line, innit?

Very pretty though KiwiMoose. I especially love the thin swirls on the left bar.

Very nice! I love the swirl.
My Irish fam calls it Lemonade too—unless there’s vodka in it lol.

If you guys call Sprite/7UP "lemonade," what do you call the non-carbonated lemon juice/sugar/water beverage? Confused American here.

I was wondering the same thing. And also do kids have lemonade stands in New Zealand like is so common (or used to be) in the US, where they sell home-made lemonade (a drink made with lemons, water and sugar) to passersby.

Lemon squash or just a 'freshly squeezed' lemon drink.
And @earlene no - we don't have 'lemonade' stands here - kids would more likely sell feijoas or other home grown fruit at the gate if anything. But yeh, not that common these days.

Squash?! LOL! Your soap is pur-tee as always and I think you have just the right amount of blue. Great top!

Here, "squash" generally refers to any edible gourd that isn't pumpkin or melons. If I saw lemon squash on the beverage menu, I would not be expecting lemonade!

Love it. It looks like black raspberry lemonade to me. My grandmother used to make it right after we got done picking wild raspberries.

I love the 7-Up comment

We have those too - butternut squash, etc.

I love the cultural language lesson! Thank you for the laugh! The swirled Lemonade soap is gorgeous.

Here we'd probably think lemon squash is a dish lol like lemon chicken

We don't call sprite or 7up anything else.
