aespa Lemonade Highball: CU Release Details and Alcohol Content

aespa's Lemonade Highball, a collaboration with CU convenience stores, is generating interest in Korea. This ready-to-drink beverage, designed with the concept of aespa's second full album “LEMONADE,” is readily available, attracting both K-pop fans and general consumers interested in new alcoholic drinks.

Launched on May 29, 2026, the aespa Lemonade Highball is sold in 500mL cans with an alcohol content of 5.0% and a recommended price of 4,500 KRW. Bloggers noted that while it shares the same price and volume as Strongball Lemon, the latter contains double the alcohol at 10.0%. The aespa highball's ingredients include purified water, sugar, spirits, and apple concentrate, with lemon components derived from fruit pulp, concentrate, and flavorings. The packaging features four distinct designs, each showcasing a different aespa member.

Local bloggers describe the taste as a sweet lemon candy flavor, suggesting it pairs well as a "snack highball" with foods like pepperoni pizza. They also observed that the can contains actual lemon slices. Consumers are advised to check stock and current promotional prices via the CU app and to verify detailed ingredients, such as sugar, sweeteners, and specific lemon sources, directly from the can label before purchasing.
