Brown lemonade
The problem is that there is almost no sourcing for it. That link of yours is not exactly a reliable secondary source, and it says next to nothing. (BTW, it is not exclusively Northern Irish: they make it in Venezuela too.) I find a few hits for it in Google Books, but most of those are mentions in works of literature and thus unusable here. Everything in here has to stand or fall based on reliable sources. Drmies (talk) 02:16, 5 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Any advice on how to get these to meet the standard of proof? It's bothering me that two drinks I can literally go across to the shop and purchase are completely unreferenced here, despite being distinct beverages. And they were mentioned a long time ago, it's just that all references to them appear to have been purged over the years (except for a pair of links in Irish Cuisine that just redirect to Lemonade. 80.2.32.198 (talk) 02:35, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Look, my favorite maker of Fine Bone China is Roy Kirkham, and they've been around for years and years--and I can find NOTHING that will let me write that article. I searched for "brown lemonade" in Google Books and News, and the best I could find is what I put in the article, but it's about the Venezuelan and it's 'this thin. Google Books suggests that the Irish stuff exists or it wouldn't have appeared in fiction, but again, that's not useful for us. So I don't know what to say: it is weird that some of the things we have known for years are just SO hard to verify. But here is a thing: sources don't have to be online. What does your local library have to offer? Good luck with it... Drmies (talk) 02:45, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
 * This is shit, for example. And my heart skipped a beat when I found a book--but it's stuff pulled from Wikipedia. Drmies (talk) 02:47, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
