Solution

Higher the temperature, higher is solubility of solute particles(sugar) and lower the temperature, lower is the solubility of solute particles (sugar).

Thus, we should add ice after dissolving sugar, as addition of ice decreases the temperature of the lemonade, and hence, after addition of ice, lemonade can dissolve lesser amount of sugar.
