Orangina (French pronunciation: [ɔʁɑ̃ʒina]) is a lightly carbonated beverage made from carbonated water, 12% citrus juice (10% from concentrated orange, 2% from a combination of concentrated lemon, concentrated mandarin, and concentrated grapefruit juices), as well as 2% orange pulp.[1][2] Orangina is sweetened with sugar or high fructose corn syrup (glucose fructose) and in some markets (such as the United Kingdom) with artificial sweetener. Natural flavors are also added.[3]

Orangina was developed by Agustín Trigo Miralles in 1933 in Algeria. Today it is a popular beverage in Europe (especially France and Switzerland), Japan, North Africa, and to a lesser extent in North America.

Since November 2009, Orangina has been owned by Suntory in most of the world.[4] In the United States and Canada, the brand has been owned by Suntory and licensed to Ventures Food and Beverage since 2020.[5] It was previously made by Dr Pepper Snapple Group and Canada Dry Motts.
