📜 History

Red lemonade is distinctively Irish - a lemon-flavored fizzy drink with a signature red color that doesn't exist outside Ireland. Since the 1980s, ordering a "Paddy and red" or "Jameson and red" has been standard in Irish pubs. The combination became so popular that red lemonade is available on tap in most Irish bars specifically for this purpose. Brands like TK (Taylor Keith), Nash's, and Finches produce this iconic mixer. For Irish expatriates, red lemonade consistently ranks among the things they miss most about home.
