What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the refrigerated drinks aisle or grab-and-go cooler as a light, fruity alternative to soda — perfect for a sunny brunch or a picnic. It feels refreshing and a bit exotic, offering a healthier, bubbly vibe without the heaviness of a sugary soda. The short ingredient list (carbonated water, lychee puree, citric acid) points to a processed beverage with natural fruit character and added carbonation and acid for texture and shelf stability, rather than a freshly pressed drink.
