"charged lemonade? What's that?"
Cashier: "That's our caffeinated version of lemonade"
"Oh, how much caffeine is in it"
Cashier: "About an energy drinks worth maybe more" or alternatively "Not sure, I think more than coffee"
"Oh nvm then, best if I avoid caffeine, especially if you're not sure of how much caffeine is in it"
Such a simple interaction, takes like 20 seconds.
The cashier should know how much it has, ideally by having it written on the menu. It could even compare to coffee or soda so the customer has a point of reference.
Another commenter said that Panera had signs to that effect after the first incident, so it's likely that was a franchise-wide change. This seems to be entirely on the customer.
