What You Should Know

You'd spot this chilled in the grab-and-go juice cooler or tucked into a picnic basket on a warm afternoon — a boutique-style lemonade with a summery, nostalgic twist. The vibe feels artisanal and indulgent yet convenient, offering an exotic prickly-pear note on top of a very sweet lemonade base. The use of juice concentrates, added cane sugar and honey, plus natural flavors and vegetable color suggests industrial formulation and additives that create a uniform, shelf-stable beverage typical of ultra-processed drinks.
