# Refreshing Low-Sugar Lemonade Old Orchard's Flavorful Lemonade Drinks Use 33% Less Sugar By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-07-06 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-orchard References: [bevindustry](http://www.bevindustry.com/articles/88543-old-orchard-releases-reduced-sugar-lemonade) & [prnewswire](http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/this-refreshing-twist-on-summers-favorite-drink-may-change-everything-300106142.html) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Low-sugar Beverages:** Opportunity to develop new beverages with reduced sugar content using natural sweeteners like stevia leaf extract. - **Summer-inspired Drinks:** Opportunity to create new refreshing drink flavors inspired by seasonal fruits and vegetables like watermelon cucumber and cherry limeade. - **Non-caloric Sweeteners:** Opportunity to explore alternative sweeteners like Truvia to reduce sugar content without compromising taste. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beverage Manufacturing:** Opportunity for beverage manufacturers to develop and market low-sugar drinks with innovative flavors for health-conscious consumers. - **Natural Sweetener Production:** Opportunity for natural sweetener producers to supply the growing demand for sweeteners like stevia leaf extract and Truvia in the food and beverage industry. - **Flavoring and Extracts:** Opportunity for flavoring and extracts companies to create and supply unique summer-inspired flavors, such as watermelon cucumber and cherry limeade, for beverage production. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Citrusy Pressed Fruit Refreshments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkling-cloudy-lemonade.md) - [Ginger Honey Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ginger-honey-lemonade.md) - [Spiked Sparkling Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiked-strawberry-lemonade.md) - [Affordable Refreshing Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemon-lime-flavor.md) - [Refreshing Free-From Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/azzero.md) - [Hydrating Watermelon Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wtrmln-ade.md) - [Sugar-Free Summer Drink Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemonade-teas-concentrates.md) - [Cloudy Canned Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canned-lemonades.md) - [Free-From Concentrated Juice Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-fruit-refreshers.md)
