Cherryade is a British fizzy drink flavour rather than a fruit one, and freezing it is a fairly direct translation. Cherryade is a flavouring rather than a fruit, which is why it holds up in a lolly where a real peach or apricot would fade into generic sweetness once frozen. The lemonade half supplies the acidity. Cold suppresses sweetness and aroma considerably more than it suppresses sourness, so a flavour built partly on acid keeps its shape once frozen. Cherry and lemonade is a pairing that only exists because of the drink. Nobody combines the two fresh, which makes cherryade one of the few flavours that is entirely a product of the bottling industry.
