Morphology

lemonade + mix

The meaning is directly derivable from 'lemonade' (a lemon-based drink) + 'mix' (a prepared powder or concentrate): it denotes a product used to make lemonade. This is a straightforward noun–noun compound following common English and cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.

Etymology

Lemonade mix comes from a simple idea: a dry powder or syrup called a mix that you pour into water to make lemonade. That's why the name means the ready powder or concentrate you use 'to make lemonade'.
