I realise that yes, this is very political. I may be crossing a line here.

    In Germany we have “Erfrischungsgetränk” (= “refreshment beverage”)

    That’s basically what it is, and the distinction is usually for regulatory reasons.

    “Limonade” in Dutch is essentially non-cola soft drinks. In general, carbonated or sweetened drinks are all frisdrank, unless they are juice or plain water. Cola, lemonade, tonic, … it’s all the same category.
