Lori's Original Lemonade Creates Unique and Innovative Flavors to Revitalize the Lemonade Industry.

Lemonade is one of the oldest beverages in the world dating all the way back to ancient Egypt 1000 AD. It hasn't seen much change, if any, since it's inception centuries ago. Thankfully, Lori's Original Lemonade has taken a sweet and unexpected twist on this classic beverage with their 3 unconventional, yet delicious flavors: Lavender Lemonade, Ginger Lemonade, and Lemongrass Lite Lemonade. With lemonade seeing a surge in the beverage industry in the last six or seven years, Lori's Original Lemonade has taken this classic drink to a whole new, and very welcomed, level.

The company's unique flavor profile started years ago when Founder and Chief Believer, Lori Volk was helping her children with their lemonade stand. She infused their lemonade with a hint of lavender, creating the company's signature flavor, Lavender Lemonade. Years later, she used this same recipe to begin Lori's Original Lemonade to help offset the costs of her now grown children's college tuitions. These distinct infusions have been the key to Lori's Original Lemonade 6-year history and their success in the market. They recently announced at the Winter Fancy Food Show that they will soon be launching two new flavors, Wild Strawberry and Lemon Love.

With the upcoming launch of these new flavors, 2017 is sure to be a banner year for the company, especially with the recognition they received last year. In 2016, Lori's Original Lemonade signature flavor, Lavender Lemonade, was awarded the prestigious Beverage World Magazine Best in Show 2016 Award as well as the Gold Award in the juice category. In addition to the lemonades themselves winning these awards, the company was also named by Entrepreneur Magazine's Entrepreneur 360 List as one of the "Best Entrepreneurial Companies in America 2016."

Chief Believer and Founder Lori Volk says there is exciting expansion news coming soon as well. "We are thrilled to be expanding into over 300 locations of a major grocer this coming spring," says Lori. "We have so many great things on the horizon this year. This is looking to be our biggest year of growth and expansion in our company's history, and we couldn't be more excited."

For a beverage that's been around for centuries, there's nothing old or boring about Lori's Original Lemonade. Each flavor is certified organic and can be found in select retailers throughout California, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, Kansas, Oklahoma and Alaska.
