Appletiser is a yummy sparkling fruit juice. It's made by mixing real fruit juice with fizzy, bubbly water. Think of it like a soda, but made with 100% fruit juice!
This popular drink was first created in 1966. It was made in the beautiful Elgin Valley in South Africa. A French-Italian man named Edmond Lombardi came up with the idea.
Even though Appletiser started in South Africa, it's now sold in over 20 other countries! You can find it in places like the UK, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.

The Story of Appletiser
How It Started
In 1966, Edmond Lombardi had a brilliant idea. He wanted to make a sparkling drink using real fruit juice and fizzy water. He called his new drink Appletiser. His company was set up in the Elgin Valley, a lovely area in South Africa.
Just a few years later, in 1969, Appletiser started to be sold in other countries. The first places to get it were the Canary Islands (part of Spain) and Japan.
Growing Bigger
In 1979, a big company called The Coca-Cola Company bought half of Appletiser. This helped Appletiser grow even more!
Later, in 1981, new flavors were launched. These were Red Grapetiser and White Grapetiser, made with grape juice.
When Appletiser came to the United Kingdom in 1982, it had a slightly different name: "Appletise." This was because another drink company already had a brand called Tizer.
In 1995, Appletiser tried out some new, limited-edition flavors. These were "Orangetise" and "Lemontise," made with citrus fruits.
Changing the Name Back
After many years, in 2001, Appletiser was finally able to use its full name in the UK again. This meant the drink could have the same name and look all around the world.
In 2016, The Coca-Cola Company bought the Appletiser brand completely. Now, Appletiser and Grapetiser drinks are made by Appletiser South Africa. This company is part of Coca-Cola's bottling operations in South Africa.
What's Inside Appletiser?
Appletiser and Grapetiser are made with no added sugar or colors. They are available in different sizes, like small cans and bigger bottles.
There's also an Appletiser Colours range, which includes Pink and Amber flavors. These drinks are made with 80% fruit juice and 20% water.
