ROSE'S: FROM LIMES TO INFUSIONS

If you’ve ever sipped a margarita, a cosmopolitan or a banana daiquiri, there’s a good chance that you’ve had Rose’s Lime Juice. These popular drinks and countless others are made with limejuice, and Rose’s just happens to have 99 percent of the limejuice market.

The brand owes much of its success to its rich heritage, a legacy that dates back to the days of tall shops with wind-filled sails. It was an age when Britannia ruled the waves, and a long ocean voyage often meant a death sentence for weary sailors. Scurvy was the scourge of the seven seas, killing more sailors than storms and foreign navies combined.

In 1867, Scottish businessman Lauchlin Rose had been in the juice business for two years. That same year, two things happened: Rose patented his process of preserving lime juice without using rum and the 1867 Merchant Shipping Act was passed. Although the sailors grumbled a little about losing their rum, it wasn’t long before sweetened juice from Rose’s West Indian limes was a shipboard staple.

In 1901, the first bottle of Rose’s arrived in the United States, introducing the brand’s great taste and distinctive label to a whole new nation.

After World War II, the brand saw a period of spectacular growth, and was eventually acquired by Schweppes in 1957. When Cadbury Schweppes acquired Mott’s in 1982, Rose’s moved across the ocean to join the Mott’s family. The product line thrived under Mott’s management, adding Rose’s Grenadine, Rose’s Triple Sec and Rose’s Sweet and Sour to its line up. Even before the addition of Rose’s Cocktail Infusions were added in 2003, the brand had grown to be used in more mixed drinks than any other non-alcoholic ingredient.

In late 2006, the Rose's Mojito Cocktail Mix family of mixers hit the scene. Available in Traditional, Passion Fruit and Mang, Rose's Mojito Mix makes it easy to elevate your mojitos - and your parties - from fashionable to unforgettable.

Today, Rose’s is part of Plano, Texas-based Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc., an integrated refreshment beverage business marketing more than 50 beverage brands throughout North America.
