How to Read a Drink Label Before You Buy

A good drink label should help you make a better choice quickly.

Start with the ingredient list. Look for words you understand, the fruit story behind the drink, and whether the flavour is built from concentrate or real fruit.

Then check the storage guidance and best-before date. A drink can have a great recipe and still disappoint if it is stored badly or served too warm.

Finally, match the bottle to the moment. Old Fashioned works as the classic table lemonade, Pink Lemonade brings colour to gatherings, and Fifun Todos is the lighter everyday option.

When in doubt, choose the bottle that tells the clearest story.
