How Surfside Creates Their Signature Lemonade

Surfside's production facility in Herkimer makes their lemonade drinks using a multi-step mixing process. The base ingredients include filtered water, cold-pressed lemon juice, and pure cane sugar. Each batch goes through quality testing to maintain a consistent sweet-tart balance, with pH levels kept between 3.2-3.4.

The production team uses a specialized cold-filtration system that removes sediment while keeping the natural lemon oils intact. The alcohol base, a neutral grain spirit, undergoes additional filtering before blending. Temperature control stays between 34-38°F throughout production to preserve fresh flavors.

The final mixing process combines the lemonade base with spirits and natural flavors in 1000-gallon batches. Each batch undergoes lab testing for alcohol content, acidity, and sugar levels before moving to the canning line. The canning process includes a nitrogen flush to prevent oxidation, giving the product a 12-month shelf life.

The pack contains two cans each of Original Lemonade, Raspberry, Strawberry and Black Cherry. Each 12 oz can contain 100 calories. The drinks come ready to serve chilled or over ice.

What Makes Each Surfside Lemonade Flavor Special?

The Original Lemonade leads Surfside's lineup with cold-pressed lemon juice as its base. At 5% ABV, it balances pure cane sugar with natural citrus, reaching 11g of sugar per can. The production includes real lemon oil, giving it an authentic lemon scent without artificial additives.

Surfside's Strawberry Lemonade builds on the original recipe by adding real strawberry puree to the mix. The 5% ABV blend contains 12g of sugar per can, with the fruit providing its natural pink color. The production process brings out subtle vanilla notes that complement the berry finish.

In the Raspberry Lemonade, fresh raspberry puree is added to the original blend. This 5% ABV variety maintains 12g of sugar per can, creating a bright red drink. The raspberry notes come through naturally in both taste and smell, complementing rather than overpowering the lemon base.

Black Cherry rounds out the collection with Montmorency cherry juice blended into the lemonade base. At 5% ABV and 11g of sugar per can, it delivers a tart cherry finish. The deep ruby color comes solely from the cherry juice, without artificial coloring. Daily Brix measurements ensure consistent sweetness across all flavors, with seasonal fruit adjustments maintaining quality year-round.

How to Serve Surfside Lemonade?

Surfside Lemonade requires consistent cold temperatures between 34-38°F for optimal serving. Storing cans in the refrigerator maintains this ideal range, while pouring over ice works for immediate consumption. The carbonation holds best when kept cold, though freezing can damage the fizz structure.

Standard collins glasses or mason jars provide excellent serving options, with regular ice cubes offering the best dilution rate. Tall pilsner glasses work well for serving without ice, particularly in cooler weather. For outdoor events, the drinks adapt well to plastic cups without losing their appeal.

Fresh fruit garnishes enhance both presentation and flavor. The Original pairs naturally with a fresh lemon slice, while Strawberry benefits from a ripe berry addition. Peach variations take well to fresh peach slices, and Black Cherry comes alive with a fresh cherry garnish. The drinks maintain their carbonation for about 30 minutes after opening when kept properly chilled.

Best Food Pairings with Surfside Lemonade 

The Original Lemonade cuts through rich foods like grilled chicken or fish tacos, while its acidity balances creamy dips and spreads. Summer salads and light pasta dishes find a natural companion in this classic variety.

Strawberry Lemonade pairs exceptionally with spicy foods, from buffalo wings to Thai cuisine. The natural sweetness tempers heat while the lemon backbone refreshes the palate. Grilled vegetables and herb-forward dishes complement the berry notes particularly well.

Peach Lemonade works beautifully with barbecue and smoked meats. The subtle fruit notes enhance sweet and tangy sauces without overwhelming the food's natural flavors. Light desserts, particularly those featuring stone fruits or vanilla, match this variety's profile perfectly.

Black Cherry Lemonade accompanies aged cheeses and charcuterie with particular grace. Its tart profile stands up to rich meats while complementing sharp cheese varieties. The cherry notes pair especially well with chocolate-based desserts and grilled stone fruits.
