Condensation causes the vapor in the nearby air around the glass to become liquid water. And, due to adhesion, the liquid water stays on the glass until such time as the drops of water get so large that their weight overcomes the adhesion forces and start to roll down the side of the glass, leaving trails of water behind.
The nature of air is that it can hold more water as a vator when it is warmer. Thus, as the air gets colder the air cannot hold as much vapor as before. That vapor has to go somewhere; so it condenses.
Vapor condensation is also what causes the vapor in the atmosphere to condense out at altitude, where its colder, and become, ta da, clouds. That is, as air rises, it gets colder and when it reaches something we call "dew point" the vapor condenses to form very tiny droplets we see all together as clouds.

The glass filters the lemonade, so you should probably drink it before it becomes too concentrated. As soon as you pour the cool lemonade into the glass, the glass becomes a filter due to micro-cracks which are not visible to the human eye. This theory has been recorded in the American Institute of Physics Journal of Applied Physics (sourced).
If you wait too long to drink your lemonade, this can cause no more -ade and just lemon left in your glass. Ask anyone, they will tell you the same thing. -Ade is a suffix for water, and the prefix that comes before it usually entails the ion mixture that is dissolved in the water (i.e. Gatorade, Powerade, etc.).
PLEASE DRINK YOUR LEMONADE FAST!!!! BEFORE IT DIFFUSES THROUGH THE GLASS!!!
Also, I lied. It s condensation.

The glass being cold will cool the air and when the air cools it loses its ability to hold water vapor which then condenses depositing on the glass.
In science speak the airs cools to the dew point at which time water vapor in the air condenses.

The cold liquid in your glass cools the surface of the glass, and the air that's in contact with it. When air cools, it can no longer hold as much humidity, so some of the water vapor in the air condenses onto the surface of the glass, and you see droplets of water. In a very dry climate, you'll see almost no condensation; in a very humid climate, you'll see a lot when the air comes in contact with a cold surface.

it's called condensation, and it will appear on a glass of ice cold anything. it's because the temperature is warmer on the outside of the glass then the inside.

Condensation cuz the inside of the cup is cold and the outside is probably warm

No, probably not! I've never even experienced zero degree weather, so I'd already be freezing to death without the ice water.

Condensation. However it will not form if it is not below the dew point.
