Lemonade traveled across the ocean to the United States, where it gained immense popularity. The Women's Christian Temperance Union adopted it as a staple, contrasting it with alcoholic beverages, ultimately leading to "Lemonade Lucy," the nickname for Lucy Hayes, wife of President Rutherford B. Hayes. She would ban alcohol at White House events, promoting lemonade instead.
The drink took on various incarnations, such as the fizzy lemonade that emerged in England, made by adding carbonated water—a trend that remains popular today.
