What You Should Know

You'd find this six-pack tucked in the beverage aisle, a convenience store fridge, or packed for a picnic or weekend brunch when you want a light, fruity refresher. The vibe is refreshingly exotic and slightly indulgent—lychee brings a nostalgic, candy-like sweetness without feeling heavy. The simple ingredient list (carbonated water, lychee puree, citric acid) and added carbonation point to basic industrial processing for texture and stability, suggesting a processed beverage rather than an unmodified whole fruit.
