J2O is a still

H2O, chosen due to the drink's fruit juice content. The first flavours available were Orange & Passion fruit, Apple & Mango and Apple & Melon
, but the range has progressively grown since.

History

In 2001 due to growing brand success, the J2O packaging was redesigned and a fourth flavour, Orange & Cranberry, was introduced. In 2002, due to the brand's popularity within the on-trade[

retail shops
. The packaging was again changed in 2005, and Apple & Raspberry was introduced.

On 2 August 2006, Britvic announced a promotional campaign designed to coincide with the

Little Britain
show.

As of 15 August 2007, J2O has been made available to bars, clubs, and restaurants in the Chicago area and is imported by Exotic Beverage Co.

In 2009 J2O introduced two new flavours, Grape & Kiwi and Winter Berries. Both of these flavours were originally limited edition but have since been integrated into the range of permanent flavours. 2010 saw a major packaging redesign and the launch of the J2O White Blend range. Two flavours, one based on white grape, the other on red grape, are less sweet than the existing J2O flavours and are designed to complement food, in the same way that white and red wine does. Orange & passion fruit and apple & mango (the 2 most popular flavours) have been released in PET bottles.

In 2011 a limited edition flavour of J2O called "Glitter Berry" was brought out. Then in 2012, 2 further limited edition flavours, papaya punch and diamond berry were released. In 2013, a limited edition Pear Gold version was released for summer. In 2020, J2O won the Lausanne Index Prize - Supreme Award.[2]
