History

The original Lemonsoda flavor was lemon. Oransoda and Pelmosoda, orange and grapefruit-flavored sodas, were introduced in the following years. In 1980 the brand was sold to Crodo, which became part of the Campari Group in 1999. During the 2003/2004 season Lemonsoda was the official sponsor of Lecce football club. In 2005, a tonic water titled Tonicsoda was the first Lemonsoda product born under the Campari brand. In 2010, two new versions of traditional Lemonsoda were created: sugarless Lemonsoda Zero and the Mojitosoda, a non-alcoholic cocktail made with lemon juice and mint flavor, flavored like a mojito cocktail. In October 2017, the Lemonsoda brand was sold to Royal Unibrew for 80 million Euro. [1]
