Hellena Oranżada Czerwona (Red Orangeade)

Retro red fizzy orangeade · Hellena · Soft drinks

8/10must-try

Why it's worth it

Oranżada is a Polish carbonated soft drink that became the ubiquitous cultural staple of the People's Republic era, and Hellena's red version keeps a recipe unchanged for years. It is pure Polish nostalgia with no Czech shelf equivalent, which is exactly why it is worth putting in the basket.

Taste

Bright-red carbonated soda flavoured with plant extracts and black carrot juice; sweet, fizzy, with a nostalgic hard-candy note
