Does anyone know of a decent replacement for Sunkist Diet Lemonade soda (which was taken off the shelves maybe a decade ago)? (self.asklemmy)

It was a sparkling lemonade/soda with zero sugar or calories, but still tasted sweet enough and highly refreshing when cold. Would also accept a replacement for the non-diet version, which in my region of the US was unavailable even before they got rid of the diet version.

I really like the Spindrift brand of sparkling water. It's just water, and fruit juice, no sweetener. The lemon or lime are very refreshing, and it seems they recently added three flavors of lemonade to their lineup which I'm going to have to try now.

Thank you, but like someone (not so kindly) pointed out I'm looking for something with still some sweetness to it. Although I definitely appreciate the suggestion and will consider the idea of possibly adding sweetener to something like that!

Spindrift has a stronger flavor than stuff like la croix, Waterloo, polar, etc. Spindrift has a bit of fruit juice in it, and has a few calories (I think 5-10?)

I think I'm going to give it a try, thanks!

They are still a little sweet, and a liquid will go a long way to make them more in line with what you might want.

Anyways have a nice day!

[–] YarHarSuperstar 1 points 6 months ago

Thanks so much, you too.

OP lists a positive as

Still tasted sweet enough

You:

No sweetener

Keep working on your comprehension skills, I'm sure you'll get there eventually

No need to be condescending, try kindness next time.it gets you further in life.

Despite your attempts to appear smart, a beverage made with fruit juice is also already naturally sweet. The pink lemonade listed on the spindrift website is made using lemon, lime, and cherry juices. They just don't add sugar or alternative sweeteners.

Anyways, good luck and i hope you are feeling better in the future!

While I do appreciate you pointing that out, there's no need to be rude. I'm happy for the recommendation either way.
