About Lorina
Lorina is a French sparkling lemonade brand with roots in a recipe dating to 1895. The brand is owned by Loux (Loux-Lorina SAS), a regional drinks producer based in Alsace. Lorina's identity is built around the swing-top glass bottle — the bouchon mécanique or bouchon à levier — a format associated with traditional artisan soft drinks. The swing-top bottle is resealable, keeps carbonation intact between servings, and is made from glass, which is fully recyclable. Lorina's Handmade Lemonade is presented as a premium alternative to industrial carbonated lemon drinks: made with real lemon juice, carbonated spring water and sugar, with no artificial colourants, flavourings or preservatives.
Lorina Handmade Lemonade (Limonade Artisanale)
The flagship Lorina Handmade Lemonade is the core of the range. It is described as made to a traditional French recipe using carbonated water, sugar, lemon juice from concentrate and natural lemon flavouring — no artificial colours or preservatives. Available in two formats:
- Lorina Handmade Lemonade 1L Glass Bottle: the single large glass swing-top bottle, providing approximately four 250ml servings. The glass bottle is fully recyclable and keeps the lemonade colder for longer than PET plastic.
- Lorina Handmade Lemonade 6×20cl Glass Bottles: the multipack of six small individual glass bottles — practical for sharing at the table, picnics or entertaining. Each 20cl bottle is a single serve.
Lorina Crystal (Limonade Cristal)
- Lorina Lemonade Crystal 1.25L: the Crystal variant is Lorina's cleaner, brighter interpretation of the classic lemonade — a lighter, more delicate effervescence compared with the Handmade range, presented in a clear PET bottle. Ingredients include carbonated water, sugar, citric acid, natural lemon flavouring and no artificial colours.
Lorina Double Zest
- Lorina Double Zest Lemonade 1.25L: the Double Zest recipe delivers a more intense citrus experience — an elevated lemon note for those who prefer a stronger, more zingy lemonade. Made with a higher proportion of lemon flavour than the classic recipe, it is still carbonated and still sugar-sweetened.
Lorina Lime (Citron Vert)
- Lorina Lemonade Lime 75cl Glass Bottle: a lime-flavoured variant of Lorina's classic artisan lemonade recipe, launched in 2021. The 75cl glass swing-top bottle is a new format extension within the Lorina range, offering a citrus alternative for those who prefer lime over lemon. Carbonated water, sugar and natural lime flavouring.
Lorina Zero Sugar
- Lorina Lemonade Zero 1.5L: the sugar-free version of Lorina's classic lemonade — sweetened with sweeteners rather than sugar, retaining the lemon flavour and carbonation of the original without the caloric content. Available in a 1.5L PET bottle.
Lorina Organic (Bio)
- Lorina Organic Lemonade Authentic Recipe 1.25L: the organic-certified variant of the Lorina recipe. Made with organic-certified ingredients — carbonated spring water, organic sugar and organic lemon juice — and certified to the AB (Agriculture Biologique) standard. For those who want both the artisan lemonade flavour and organic sourcing.

Lorina FAQs
What makes Lorina different from industrial lemonade?
Most commercially produced sparkling lemonade uses artificial flavourings, citric acid as the only acid and no real lemon juice. Lorina's Handmade Lemonade is formulated with lemon juice from concentrate alongside natural lemon flavouring, and uses no artificial colours or preservatives. The glass swing-top bottle (on the Handmade and Lime variants) is also a differentiating format — glass does not interact with the drink, preserves flavour more neutrally than PET plastic, and is infinitely recyclable. The recipe is presented as a contemporary interpretation of a traditional French artisan lemonade style.
How should Lorina glass bottles be stored?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight before opening. Once opened, reseal using the swing-top lever closure and refrigerate. Consume within two to three days of opening for optimal carbonation. Glass bottles retain cold well — chill the bottle before serving for optimal sparkle and flavour delivery. The swing-top closure is airtight when properly latched, helping maintain carbonation between servings.
