I tried 'CC Lemon Honey Apple Flavor,' which has a gentle taste with the mellow sweetness of honey and the scent of apples.

On Tuesday, December 9, 2025, Suntory released the limited-time 'CC Lemon Honey Apple Flavor.' It is a seasonal flavor that combines the refreshing scent of apples with the sweetness of honey, so I tried drinking it to see what it tasted like.

The package for 'CC Lemon Honey Apple Flavor' looks like this.

Contains 1% fruit juice.

The ingredients include high fructose corn syrup, lemon juice, honey, acidulant, and flavoring. Like regular CC Lemon, it contains the vitamin C equivalent of 40 lemons.

The energy content is 45kcal per 100ml, which is equivalent to 225kcal per 500ml bottle.

When poured into a glass, the liquid is pale yellow.

When I tried it, the strong acidity unique to CC Lemon was softened by the mellow sweetness of honey and the aroma of apples, giving it a gentle taste that was easy to drink despite its acidity. The slightly fizzy popping sensation in the mouth was just the right amount of stimulation, making it a soothing, winter-only flavor that was refreshing and comforting despite being a carbonated drink.

The suggested retail price of 'CC Lemon Honey Apple Flavor' is 210 yen, and it will be available for a limited time from Tuesday, December 9, 2025 at retail stores and online shopping sites nationwide. At the time of writing, it was also available on Amazon.co.jp, with a set of 24 bottles costing 3,600 yen including tax (150 yen per bottle).
