Orangeade

La Mortuacienne is an institution in the French lemonade world — and this swing-top bottle contains the variety that balances between aperitif class and refreshment. An orange lemonade that doesn't taste like Fanta, but like real fruit and delicate acidity.

Character and Aroma

In the glass, it's sun-orange, transparent, with lively fine carbonation. The nose opens with ripe orange, a hint of bitter orange, and a delicate vanilla note in the background. On the palate, it's clearly fruity, with a distinctly noticeable acidic line and a sweetness that doesn't overpower, but merely supports. Unlike industrial lemonades.

When it belongs in the glass

As a summer refreshment, an aperitif accompaniment, a mixer for non-alcoholic cocktails, or a companion to pizza, burgers, and Mediterranean appetizers. Also as a sophisticated juice alternative for children. Serve at 6–8 °C from the original swing-top bottle, ideally in a tall glass with ice.

Behind the label: La Mortuacienne

The manufacturer is named after the town of Morteau in the Doubs — a small town in the French Jura, where lemonades have been bottled in swing-top bottles for generations. The distinctive green swing-top bottle is the brand's trademark. More about the lemonade line under La Mortuacienne Lemonade.
