As an American I had to do a lot of research to figure out what sort of "lemonade" would work best for this drink, since the "lemonade" called for is specifically the carbonated UK variety. Lemon-lime soda seemed like it would be far too sweet and insufficiently lemony, so I tried Sanpellegrino Limonata. The drink was far too sour and the mint tasted very odd underneath all the citrus. Any suggestions for something commonly available in the US?

It's hard to advise from the UK but it looks like R. Whites Lemonade is available in the USA.
