Our story

Two South Jersey guys,
one lemonade.

Born and raised in South Jersey, and never really left — because why would they. Established July 2026, with over 2,500 bottles sold since.

How it started

Dave and Frank are entrepreneurs at heart — the kind who can’t leave a good idea alone once it gets stuck in their head. This one stuck.

It started with something simple: they were tired of lemonade that tasted like it came from a powder. Most of what’s out there is loaded with high-fructose corn syrup, artificial flavoring, and shortcuts dressed up as “fresh.” Dave and Frank wanted the real thing — fresh-squeezed lemons, real fruit, nothing fake — and figured if they wanted that, other people in South Jersey probably did too.

So they built it themselves. No corporate playbook, no investors telling them to cut corners — just two local guys who set out to make the best cup of lemonade you’ve ever had, and named it after the community they hope to build around it.

“Something good can be made from what you’re given.” The Sour Society creed

The mission

Turn a simple glass of lemonade into a memorable experience.

We want every cup to look great, taste amazing, and create a little excitement — whether that’s at a festival, a wedding, or your driveway on a Saturday afternoon. This isn’t a corner-stand cup of lemonade. It’s a club you join, one flavor at a time.
