Lemonade
Category: Juice: Juice Drink; Packaging: 20 fl oz (591 ml) plastic
BevNET Review:
This new bottled lemonade brand from Atlanta has a nice mix of lemon and sweetness, but the sweetener, high-fructose corn syrup, left our tongues tingling in an unnatural way. The label is simple and unoffensive, featuring a denim-y blue color and an ink-stamp Nu South logo. We think it could find a market – the first time. But it’s not likely to again due to a major design flaw: the plastic bottle is so cheap and flimsy that it nearly bent in half when we lifted it up to drink. The bottle walls bend at the slightest pressure, meaning you’re as likely to have to clean up the drink as consume it. That’s a major problem both visually and functionally speaking.

Grape
Category: Juice: Juice Drink; Packaging: 20 fl oz (591 ml) plastic
BevNET Review:
Frankly, after the trouble we’d had opening and spilling Nu South’s lemonade products, the prospect of an exploding grape soda terrified us, but we managed to survive the skimpy PET construction to get to the product without spilling a drop. Unfortunately, the soda itself is much less enjoyable than the lemonades, which at least had some accurate flavor qualities. This just tastes like overly-sweet soda without much grape flavor, and a bitter aftertaste. Not great.

Mango Lemonade
Category: Juice: Juice Drink; Packaging: 20 fl oz (591 ml) plastic
BevNET Review:
The biggest obstacle to this product’s success is the fact that the bottle walls are so flimsy that they cannot resist even the minimal grip pressure required to hold the package steady while twisting off the cap, meaning that the liquid is forced up and out of the bottle, which is no mean trick for a product that doesn’t have any carbonation. In other words, to open it is to spill it. Nice mango flavor, weird orange color, odd label that mixes mangoes with what appear to be flying shards of yellow class, but again, use more plastic.
