Qoo White Grape and Lemon

Overview

Qoo is one of those fruit juice drinks you will find everywhere, especially in vending machines. It’s marketed towards kids and if you visit the Qoo website, you’ll find lots of kid-oriented activities. The standard flavors are orange and grape but there are plenty of seasonal releases as well.

The Product Examined

I generally don’t think of white grape and lemon as a good flavor combination but it actually works. The initial taste is strictly white grape juice but the lemon tang soon becomes apparent. However, the lemon flavor never overwhelms the fruit juice and the drink remains sweet. Even though it only has 10% actual fruit juice in it, it seems to be the right balance.

This is definitely one of the better Qoo drinks out there. Sometimes, the flavor is weak by American standards or too artificial so the product tastes like badly mixed Kool-aide.

Qoo is not sold in the US but this drink would be easy to replicate. My advice is to find a 100% grape juice, like Juicy Juice (so it doesn’t have high fructose corn syrup), dilute it to whatever you feel retains a good grape flavor, then add small amounts of lemon juice until there’s just a small amount of tang.
