You're not half the mandarin you used to be...

A punchy, zesty Mandarin soda, this is our ode to a school bag favourite. With delicate top notes of mandarin, this soda extends out to middle palate with a sustained burst of mandarin before giving way to a second and third layer of mandarin. The soda ends with a luxurious, sustained mandarin finish before finally, mandarin.

You're not half the mandarin you used to be

Very Mandarin Lo-Cal Soda

Mandarin juice gives way to a sustained burst of more mandarin juice.

We can

In our most innovative move yet - we took a product that we had already produced and siphoned it into a slightly different drinking apparatus. Now coming in a lighter, more sustainable format to traditional glass bottles, gives you the choice of a grab-n-go option when it comes to your soda consumption.

Pairing notes

The most obvious choice would be to pair the pear with your mouth. Otherwise, try a shot of top-shelf mezcal, tequila or quality white spirit.

Tasting notes

Mandarin juice with extra mandarin, bright yuzu juice.

Boring nutritional stuff

12.2 grams of sugar & 53 calories per 330ml serve. Natural flavours.

Ingredients

Carbonated Water, Cane Sugar, Mandarin Juice, Yuzu Juice, Citric Acid, Natural Acidity Regulator (331), Natural Flavours.

Low Cal, Lo-Cal Soda

Lo-Cal sodas are naturally lower in sugar, without relying on sweeteners such as stevia or erythritol. They are all-natural and contain no preservatives. Very Mandarin clocks in at only 53 Calories per serve.

Soooo refreshing
Love the mandarin, I’ll be giving the others a try. Not too sweet and a perfect thirst quencher. It’s even become an alcohol replacement for me😁

Love the fizziness
I much prefer this over Yuzu as I can taste more of the mandarin punch in this. Love love love the fizziness hit when you first drink this. The taste isn't everyone's cup of tea amongst my family but generally no fuss compared to other sugary drinks.

Mezcaly Mandarin - StrangeLove Beverage Co

What Is Very Mandarin Lo-Cal Soda?

Very Mandarin is a citrus based soda crafted with very real mandarin juice and a touch of yuzu.

It sits within the StrangeLove Lo-Cal range, which means it’s formulated to be lower sugar without artificial sweeteners, stevia, or anything pretending to be sugar.

At only 48 calories per 300ml, it’s flavour first soda made with the finest juices, extracts and oils.

What Makes It Lo-Cal?

We use less sugar, real yuzu juice from Japan, and leave artificial sweeteners out of it entirely. No stevia. No erythritol. No preservatives. Just natural flavours and a touch of sugar for balance.

48 calories per bottle, and none of that “why does this taste like that” after-effect.

How to Serve Very Mandarin

Chilled from the fridge, directly into your mouth..

Alternatively, add tequila, mezcal, vodka or whisky if you’re fun.

How do you keep the calorie count so low in these sodas?

We hired a bunch of unpaid interns to hand remove each granule of undesired sugar. But if the lawyers ask - we use smaller amounts of quality fruit extracts, oils, juices, herbs, spices and cane sugar to naturally achieve a lower sugar and calorie count compared to traditional sodas.

Does this soda contain real mandarin juice?

Yes. Real mandarin juice. Not “inspired by,” not “essence of,” not a vague citrus impersonator.. The actual thing.

What spirits pair well with Very Mandarin?

Mezcal, tequila blanco, vodka, and Japanese whisky all work well. The yuzu in the formula gives it a sharper citrus edge, which makes it particularly suited to whisky highballs*.

*In house tested ;)

Can I drink Very Mandarin on its own?

What a weird question to ask us. Once you have purchased Very Mandarin Lo-Cal soda, you can essentially do whatever you want with it. Drink it. Bathe in it. Wrap it in a blanket and raise it as your son. We really don’t care what you do with it, just please for the love of god keep buying it.

What are the ingredients?

Carbonated Water, Cane Sugar, Mandarin Juice, Yuzu Juice, Citric Acid, Natural Acidity Regulator (331), Natural Flavours.

What size does it come in?

Very Mandarin Lo-Cal Soda is available in 300ml glass bottles (24 pack) and 330ml cans (24 pack). If you're exploring the Lo-Cal range, it also pairs well alongside options like the Lime & Jalapeño Lo-Cal Soda for something with a bit more edge.

Do these sodas contain any artificial sweeteners, stevia or erythritol?

No, we tend to steer clear of additives we cannot pronounce.

Where are your drinks made?

Our products are made in Preston, Victoria. We picked that spot because the upturned shopping carts, youth knife crime and balding hipsters are fun to look at while taste testing our drinks.

Should I leave my husband?

If we wears those long zip off cargo pants, which transform into shorts, then yes. Run for the hills.

Is the name 'Garry' an acceptable name for my first born son?

No child born after 1979 should be named Garry.

Why are there so many mandarins in your soda?

Because if you can't be with the one you love honey, then love the mandarin you're with.

Will this drink fix my sad life?

No. But it might get you through the afternoon without the need to scream into a pillows, which is realistically more achievable.

Why is everyone suddenly into running?

Because unfortunately Gen Z failed to develop actual personalities and have made everyday, mundane tasks personality traits. Our advice to this soulless generation is: Go out and drink like the rest of us sad millennial losers. You will soon see that self improvement is a pointless endeavor, but good drinks are forever.

Why does everyone in Melbourne care about what suburb you live in?

Because no one under the age of 55 can afford status symbols anymore, so saying you live ‘South Side’ is the only way to insinuate you don’t spend half your day listening to Centrelink hold music. If anyone cares, we are located at 180 Wellington street, Collingwood and would never be caught dead south side
