Coca-Cola looks set to launch a healthier lemonade from its Cappy juice brand in the UK.
The soft drinks giant has applied to register a trademark for the name and logo of ‘Cappy Lemonade Botanical’ with the Intellectual Property Office under class 32, covering fruit drinks and fruit juices.
Cappy is a fruit juice and fruit-flavoured soft drink brand owned by Coca-Cola available in over 25 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia. In other markets such as the US it is sold under the Minute Maid brand, while in Latin America it is called Del Valle.
The website of Coke bottler Coca-Cola HBC describes Cappy products as “top-quality fruit juices, nectars and drinks with original natural flavours, made from fresh, carefully picked fruit”.
Other flavours in the Cappy lineup include Cappy 100% Pure Orange, Cappy Multivitamin, Cappy Pulpy Grapefruit and Cappy Lemonade Tasty Lemon.
Pressed on when UK shoppers could expect Cappy products to land on shelves, UK bottler Coca-Cola Europacific Partners declined to comment.
It comes with shoppers increasingly shifting away from traditional sugar laden soft drinks towards healthier alternatives.
Coca-Cola’s flagship, namesake brand has shed more volumes than any other soft drink in the past 12 months, according to data compiled for The Grocer’s Britain’s Biggest Brands report [NIQ 52 w/e 28 December 2025].
Meanwhile, functional drinks are in strong growth, with the segment adding £24m in value sales in the space of a year – almost as much as the whole carbonated soft drinks category [Northstar by Circana 52 w/e 25 January 2025].
In the US, both Coca-Cola and Pepsi have unveiled functional drinks innovations in recent months, with the latter announcing a prebiotic version of its flagship, namesake cola earlier this month.
Pepsi Prebiotic will launch in classic and cherry vanilla flavours online this autumn, ahead of a retail debut in 2026.
