Pineapple Lemonade

The Full Story

The Pineapple Lemonade started as an accident — a batch of MD2 juice mixed with lemon water at our production facility in Mindanao that someone carbonated on a whim. It was too good to ignore. We spent six months perfecting the ratio: enough pineapple sweetness to balance the lemon's tartness, enough carbonation for a satisfying fizz without overwhelming the delicate fruit flavors, and just a hint of fresh mint oil that hits on the exhale. Unlike commercial sparkling juices that use fruit concentrates and added sugar, ours starts with real cold-pressed MD2 pineapple juice and real squeezed lemons. The carbonation is gentle — fine bubbles, not aggressive fizz — so the tropical character of the pineapple stays front and center. At 12g of sugar per serving (all naturally occurring from the fruit), it has less than half the sugar of a typical soda. This is what happens when a pineapple company decides to make a sparkling drink — the fruit comes first, the bubbles come second.
