Following yesterday’s news that Lilt is being discontinued after almost 50 years, many will be looking for ways to savour the iconic taste of the drink ahead of the rollout of the re-branded Fanta version. With this in mind, the team at recipe box Gousto have created a simple recipe inspired by the totally tropical taste of Lilt.
The tangy drink began in 1975 with the strapline “The Totally Tropical Taste” and was only sold in the UK, Ireland, Gibraltar and the Seychelles. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) confirmed the change in a statement, noting that the drink’s packaging and logo are being changed and it will now be known as Fanta Pineapple and Grapefruit.
CCEP said: “Keen Lilt fans may have spotted a gradual transition as the drink has made its way into the Fanta family over the past few months, with changes to its packaging and logo. Some have even hypothesised on social media that Lilt may be becoming part of the Fanta brand, and one even went as far as producing their own news broadcast-style video.”
