To revive Digital/electronic equipment after water damage:
NB This does not always work, especially if any chips or circuits have fried but you won't know that until you try it....
I have done this with 2 mobile phones (one got wet in the rain and one i dropped down the bog!) and an MP3 player.
Firstly you WILL need a new battery! The Li-ion battery has LITHIUM in it which reacts violently with water.
The battery will have got very hot during the wetting as the lithium burned up and you were very lucky it didn't burn it's way out the bottom of you bag.
Check out youtube for Lithium + Water experiments and see just How lucky you were!
So, Fixing water damaged electronic equipment.
Simple solution is put it in an airtight ziploc plastic bag and cover it in rice.
Raw rice fresh from the bag, not cooked rice mind!
Leave the bag in a warm place (airing cupboard etc) for a few days and the rice will draw all the water out as it acts like a dessicant.
If none of the chips or circuits have fried or blown then assuming the battery is ok it should work again.
I would be interested if it works in your case so please let everyone know if you were successful.
After typing all that I just re-read your question and i noticed it was lemonade. you might be unlucky as the sugars etc will be left inside your device as the water is drawn out and that's not good. try it you've nothing to lose!
