Old Orchard has created a fresh line of summer-inspired beverages with juicy flavors that are 33 percent less sweet. The 2015 summer flavors are Cherry Limeade and Watermelon Cucumber Lemonade.
Old Orchard uses all-natural lemon and lime juices to elevate the beverage quality in each container. The sweetness of these remixed classic summer drinks comes from the use of a stevia leaf extract sweetener called Truvia. This sweetener gives each glass of lemonade and limeade a fresh taste without the sugary calories.
With a fresh infusion of favored summer fruits and veggies such as watermelon and cucumber, Old Orchard adds a subtly soft pop of excitement to a traditional drink. On the other end of the spectrum, the infusion of cherry and lime adds a burst of citrus to delightfully tingle the taste buds.
