Orangina is a carbonated citrus beverage made from orange, lemon, and mandarin juice, with origins in France, now owned by the Dr Pepper Snapple Group.

According to its Scottish website, "The exact formula is a closely guarded secret, but Orangina is made up of a high content of orange juice and pulp: The bottle claims 12% juice, and 2% pulp and zest."

Orangina started life as Naranjina, presented at the 1936 Marseille Trade Fair by its Spanish inventor, chemist Dr. Trigo, from Valencia. Léon Beton bought the concept and produced it in colonial Algeria, moving production to France in 1962 after Algeria won its independence.
