This is the Suntory CC Lemon Berry Mix, a variation on the original made with a blend of strawberry and cassis juice (1%).
The beverage had a translucent yellow hue with a pronounced musky berry aroma, immediately recognisable as cassis, alongside a moderate level of carbonation.
When consumed chilled, the flavour opened with a deep sweetness accompanied by the tart, tangy edge of cassis. This darker berry character carried through the body of the drink, where it was rounded by a softer strawberry sweetness. The familiar CC Lemon base remained present but acted more as a supporting structure than the main flavour. The result was a berry-forward lemonade profile, with the citrus providing brightness while the berries dominated the overall character. The carbonation lifted the sweetness and acidity, leaving the palate clean toward the finish.
Overall, a berry-led variation of CC Lemon with balanced sweetness, tang, and refreshing carbonation.
This Suntory CC Lemon Berry Mix contained 500 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2026.
