Victor GEYER founded his lemonade factory in Munster, in the Moselle region of France.
His two sons, Ernest and Victor, succeeded him before André Geyer and Yves Kesseler took over. One hundred and one year have gone by and his wonderful method is still going strong.

<<Water, lemon essence, a few drops of citric acid and a little sugar >>.
Water, yes, but what water ! Very soft, gushing from the Vosges sandstone, and particularly fresh:
11 degrees (ideal for acrating).
Its taste ? A fews drops of natural lemon essence distilled near Grasse.
A few grams of sugar ? The purest of all,refined at Erstein. It is the ancestral recipe that gives Lorina lemonade its authentic taste. But a recipe would be nothing without the addition of traditional know-how.
At GEYER Brothers, only Yves Kesseler applies his very own passion to making up this special syrup. It is not made every day. The bottling line cannot do without Yves and his companions. They supply the bottles, visually inspect levels, seal each bottle by hand, turn it three times to guarantee the mixture while checking the seal, and finally pack it for transport.
It shows off all its qualities in a magic 75 cl bottle (fitted with a traditional mechanical stopper). This alone guarantees its exceptional long-lasting sparkle.
"Lemonade that prickles
the dry throat with thousand
refreshing needles."
Albert Camus
