What is Sprite Lymonade Legacy? You’d certainly never guess from the name. According to the Sprite website, it’s a limited edition Sprite with an extra splash of lemonade. That sounds like straight up Sprite Lymonade to us. If you consult the packaging, you’ll see it also includes strawberry flavors—hence the pink label, I guess. Why is it called Legacy? It’s celebrating 50 years of hip-hop. We can certainly get behind that, but can we get behind the Sprite Lymonade Legacy flavor? We snagged a bottle (it wasn’t easy to find, but we did it!) to find out. Here is our official Sprite Lymonade Legacy review.
We are big Sprite fans here at Sporked—we might not have ranked it as the best lemon-lime soda, but it came awfully close. So we were excited to try a new Sprite flavor. The idea of adding some pink lemonade to Sprite is great on paper. But in practice? All I can say is that it’s a good thing that Sprite Lymonade Legacy is a limited edition Sprite flavor. It’s not good. It smells like it is going to give you a headache—like someone dumped some cherry Kool-Aid into a Sprite. But it tastes more like someone poured a fruit punch Vitamin Water into a Sprite. “It tastes like Pez,” managing editor Gwynedd Stuart commented. And it somehow tastes more like a Diet Sprite than a regular Sprite. There’s a fake sugar substitute flavor. Sprite is good. This is worse Sprite. If you really want strawberry lemonade Sprite, just pour a splash of strawberry lemonade into a Sprite.
Hi! I’m the editor-in-chief of Sporked. I will never turn down a fresh-shucked oyster but I’ll also leap at whatever new product Reese’s releases and I love a Tostitos Hint of Lime, even if there is no actual lime in the ingredients.
Why you should trust me: I have been writing about food and beverages for well over a decade and am an avid at-home cook and snacker. I began my career writing about fine dining and recipes, moved into cocktails and spirits, and now I talk about groceries. If you can eat it or drink it, I’ve probably written about it.
What I buy every week: Trader Joe’s dried okra. Appleton Farms prosciutto from Aldi. Some sort of Trader Joe’s cheese (I’m into the aged gouda at the moment). Frozen waffles (usually the Eggo Cinnamon Toast Minis). Spindrift water (loving the Cosmopolitan right now).
Favorite ranking: Smoked salmon. Imagine me as Scrooge McDuck but instead of coins I’m diving into a vault of slippery smoked salmon slices. Pure joy. I also found some real steals in that taste test!
Least favorite ranking: Canned oysters. I had such high hopes for this but it quickly became a chore. The kitchen smelled like an uncleaned aquarium.
