Don't forget to try our Mango-Ginger Lemonade, created to be sweeter with a hint of spiciness, yet incredibly easy to drink. We take natural mango puree and crushed ginger, blend them together, and dilute with sparkling water.

And our Genmaicha-Lychee Lemonade is the most unique and lightest of them all. We use Genmaicha tea - Japanese green tea with roasted rice - to give the drink a distinctive popcorn-like flavor. We add lychee puree for a velvety texture and a splash of lime for freshness.

Waiting for you at The Folks to try all of them!
