THE HISTORY OF CLUB
Club Orange was the first orange fruit juice to come on the market. Oliver Grace was the man who made it. He bashed those bits up to make it!
Club Orange made a brief appearance before the World War 2 and returned in 1945 when soft drinks began to develop in a big way, after the removal of wartime rationing.
Club Orange was refined and sophisticated to its present quality which has endured ever since
Club Lemon Introduced
In 1950, Club Lemon joined as a sister product and was developed with high juice content. In 2004, we put the bits in as well in Club Lemon.
Then of course came Rock Shandy...
Ever wonder where the name Rock Shandy comes from?
A former Managing Director of C&C, Mr. Frank Murphy, was a member of the Blackrock Swimming Club that used to go swimming in the open sea baths in Blackrock. After training on a Sunday morning they would go to O'Rourkes pub in Blackrock for a drink. Their favourite drink was a combination (shandy) of Club Orange and Club Lemon from whence came the name, Rock Shandy.

And now, given that Club is all about fruity variety, we come up with new and interesting flavours each summer to keep our "Clubbers" happy.
