Egyptians created lemonade more than 1500 years ago. This popular drink was called "gatarmizat". It was consumed between the 10th and 13th centuries. Today, lemonade is sold in bottles and can be clear, cloudy, or fizzy. Clear lemonade is lemon and water, or lemon and carbonated (углеродная) water, made without adding sugar.

Soft drinks can trace their history back to the mineral water from natural springs. In 1767 the first drinkable manmade glass of carbonated water was created by an Englishman Dr Joseph Priestley. Three years later the Swedish chemist Torbern Bergman invented an apparatus that allowed imitation mineral water to be produced in large amounts.

Orange juice is the best known and most popular raw food drink. In the mid-1910s there was an overproduction of citrus fruits in California and the growers didn't see another way out but destroy 30% of its trees. At the same time, pasteurization was discovered. Now the growers of the citrus could juice their oranges, pasteurize them for longer storage and then ship the juice to big cities.
