About Orangina
Orangina is the iconic French sparkling citrus drink that has captured hearts worldwide since its creation in 1935. Born from a formula called "Naranjina" created by Spanish pharmacist Agustín Trigo Miralles, Orangina was launched commercially after French businessman Léon Beton purchased the recipe at the Marseille Trade Fair. Today, Orangina is represented in 60 countries across 5 continents, bringing the unique flavour of the Mediterranean to millions. The distinctive round, textured bottle that resembles an orange was introduced in 1951 by Jean-Claude Beton and has become one of the most recognizable packaging designs in soft drink history. The bumpy glass texture mimics orange peel, while the round shape echoes the fruit itself. This design brilliantly reinforces Orangina's core ritual: shaking the bottle before drinking to mix the natural orange pulp and juice that settles at the bottom. Orangina's journey through ownership has been eventful - from the Beton family through Pernod Ricard (1984), Cadbury Schweppes (2000s), and finally to Japanese beverage giant Suntory in 2009 for 300 billion yen. Under Suntory ownership, Orangina sits alongside other famous brands including Lucozade, Ribena, and the company's renowned whisky portfolio. Production remains in France, staying true to its Mediterranean heritage. Unlike many fruit-flavoured sodas, Orangina contains real citrus pulp and juice, giving it an authentically refreshing taste. The "shake to taste" tradition has become part of Orangina's identity, making the drinking experience interactive and unique. For those seeking a sophisticated alternative to standard fizzy drinks, Orangina offers genuine citrus character with European flair.
