"People on Reddit seem to think TJ's shelf-stable Organic Lemonade tastes weird, with a plastic-like aftertaste. It's overly bitter, and some even say that it has an artificial flavor, despite organic lemon juice and organic lemon juice concentrate as leading ingredients. When one of our writers sipped their way through over a dozen non-alcoholic Trader Joe's drinks, the organic lemonade came in last in the list of suggestions."
"While it may be better than the powdered lemonade from childhood (that never actually had any lemon in it), it's still not too impressive. Our writer suggested topping it off with fresh lemons to bolster the flavor. But you might as well save yourself a few bucks and avoid buying it. Get the fresh-squeezed one that's in the refrigerated section instead."
Trader Joe's offers a vast beverage selection spanning non-dairy drinks, sparkling waters, beers, and juices, with frequent new arrivals. Extensive tastings combined with public reviews identify clear winners and losers among the store-brand beverages. The shelf-stable Organic Lemonade is widely criticized for a plastic-like aftertaste, excessive bitterness, and occasional artificial flavor despite organic lemon ingredients; it ranked last in a comparative tasting. Consumers are advised to skip the shelf-stable lemonade, add fresh lemon to improve it, or instead purchase refrigerated fresh-squeezed lemonade. By contrast, Trader Joe's Coconut Water is recommended for its simple, refreshing flavor and effective electrolyte replenishment.
