Looking for a fun way to spruce up your lemonade? Meet yuzu—a bold, tart citrus fruit from Japan that tastes like lemon, lime, and grapefruit -- all in one. It's fragrant, punchy, and adds a refreshing twist that effortlessly complements your everyday lemon. We combined the bright pop of True Lemon Original Lemonade with the floral tang of yuzu juice for a drink that’s equal parts refreshing and unexpected.  

The best part? No squeezing required. Thanks to True Citrus, you get real citrus flavor made with natural ingredients and none of the artificial flavors you’ll find in store-bought lemonades. This is yuzu lemonade done right—delicious, clean, and ready to pour.
