Sweet Leaf – Lemonade Review
Greetings, Libationers! Today I’m pleased to bring you another flavor from Sweet Leaf. Today I’m tackling their lemonade.
Now let me state from the start that I have never had much luck with pre-bottled lemonade. It’s really, really hard to find anything that doesn’t taste like a tin can of super-fake lemon concentrate. Sweet Leaf has had some solid entries in the past, though, so I’m willing to give them a try.
Let’s crack it open…
Fragrance – yep, smells like lemon all right. I do detect a little bit of that concentrate scent, too. (You know, the stuff from the little yellow plastic squeeze-lemon).
Taste – while it’s better than some other bottled lemonades that I’ve had, I still just can’t get over that concentrate taste. It just feels fake. The sweetness level is just right, and it could be great if it just tasted like a fresh lemon. But there’s just no getting around the fake taste.
To be fair to Sweet Leaf, there is only one bottled lemonade that I have ever really enjoyed, and that’s Simply Lemonade. (Which is pasteurized and kept under refrigeration like other fresh juices). It may be comparing apples to oranges here, but in order for me to like a lemonade it has to taste like real lemons! I simply can’t get over the concentrate taste.
Rating: 2.0 out of 5 – A worthy effort, but it still tastes like plastic lemons.

Where did you find the sweet leaf drinks?
Sweet Leaf has a pretty wide distribution. I see them in just about every grocery store here in UT. Check their store locator page to see who’s selling it in your state, and if that doesn’t work, look on the same page for a link to their Amazon store.
