Exciting Evolution of Lemondo

Lemondo, a brand dedicated to perfecting lemon flavor, is set to unveil its revamped 'Unsweetened Cloudy Lemon' on September 8, 2025. This innovative drink has been developed with an aim to enhance the dining experience. The new version promises to captivate lemon enthusiasts with its authentic, refreshing taste.

The unsweetened shochu highball market has experienced significant growth in recent years, with consumers increasingly drawn to beverages that complement their meals. The 'Unsweetened Lemondo' series has consistently delivered on this trend, focusing on the genuine and vibrant taste of lemons. Recent trends suggest a higher demand for unsweetened lemon sour beverages due to their appeal of being easy to enjoy daily while also pairing well with food and tasting great on their own.

The second generation of 'Unsweetened Lemondo Cloudy Lemon' is the result of approximately two years of development. This new creation offers an authentic lemon taste that is both bold and natural. Staying true to its roots, this version employs an 'oil direct-in' technique, inspired by bartenders who extract maximum aroma from lemons by pressing the fruit with the peel facing downwards, a method known as 'Southern Hemisphere Pressing.'

Key Features of 'Unsweetened Cloudy Lemon'

1. Innovative 'Oil Direct-In' Technology: To replicate the aroma and flavor of 'Southern Hemisphere Pressing,' this new product incorporates lemon oil directly into the juice. This technique ensures an even distribution of flavors, combining lemon oil and juice to produce a multi-dimensional lemon aroma that enhances the drink's overall taste complexity.

2. Layered Addition Method: Unlike traditional beverages that merely reduce sweetness, Lemondo's approach is based on addition. By employing the classic 'pre-cut lemon method,' where whole lemon juice, peel, and pulp are marinated together, it creates a smooth and flavorful experience. The newly added lemon oil further enhances this authentic flavor, ensuring a balance between bitterness from the peel and acidity from the juice.

The unique 'cloudiness' characteristic of 'Unsweetened Cloudy Lemon' not only elevates the visual appeal but also amplifies the fruitiness intrinsic to lemons. This non-sweet beverage manages to strike a perfect balance between refreshing taste and rich flavor depth.
