What You Should Know

You'd spot this 16 fl oz bottle in the refrigerated natural beverages cooler or on the organic drinks shelf — a grab-and-go option for a sunny lunch, picnic, or quick treat. It gives a nostalgic Arnold Palmer vibe: refreshing and marketed as a 'healthier' organic option, yet noticeably sweet (18 g sugar) and engineered for consistent taste. The ingredient list (concentrates, added sweeteners, 'organic lemon flavor' and processed water) points to industrial formulation and flavoring typical of ready-to-drink, highly processed beverages.
