Soft drink can turn into the demon ale (8)

I believe the answer is:

lemonade

(Other definitions for lemonade that I've seen before include "Leo named oddly for a soft drink" , "Non-alcoholic drink" , "Sweet carbonated drink" , "Flavoured mineral drink" , "Sweetened beverage of diluted juice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
