About
As of 2026, it's 51 years old.
Country Time Lemonade sells nostalgia first and lemonade second. Launched in 1975, its entire pitch was 'good old-fashioned' summers that may never have existed, evoked through front-porch ads and a powder you stir into water while pretending you squeezed actual lemons.
It became the backyard-barbecue and lemonade-stand staple precisely because it tasted like a memory — sweet, tart, and conveniently effortless.
Refreshing, sugary, and marketed on pure sepia-toned feeling, Country Time is less a drink than a longing for a simpler time, sold by the canister.
