aespa Lemonade Highball: CU Collaboration, Flavor Profile, and Blogger Reviews

aespa's Lemonade Highball, a special collaboration with CU convenience stores, is currently a popular item in Korea. This K-pop themed alcoholic beverage is generating buzz among fans and the general public due to its unique packaging featuring aespa members and its distinct flavor profile.

Launched on May 29, 2026, the aespa Lemonade Highball is available at CU convenience stores in 500mL cans with 5% alcohol content, priced at 4,500 KRW. The packaging features four distinct designs, each showcasing an aespa member. Unlike traditional whiskey highballs, its primary alcohol base is either fruit wine (from Australian grape concentrate) or spirits mixed with apple concentrate from Turkey and Chile, with lemon components derived from juice, concentrate, and flavorings. Notably, the can includes a real lemon slice, as indicated on the front.

Local bloggers describe the aespa Lemonade Highball as having a sweet lemon candy taste, making it a suitable companion for snacks like pepperoni pizza. Many find joy in collecting the different member-themed cans. Consumers are advised to check the Pocket CU app for real-time stock and current promotions, such as a potential 3-can discount for 12,000 KRW, before visiting stores.
