The new drink is from 7UP - the iconic American fizzy lemonade brand.
A pink lemonade alternative is now also available on shelves, and is zero sugar.
The flavour is a combination between lemon, lime and raspberry, and is bright pink in colour.
It hit shelves at selected stores on April 28, and will soon be rolled out more widely.
7UP Pink Lemonade is available in 330ml cans, 500ml bottles, two-litre bottles and multipacks of eight 330ml cans.
A shopper noticed the pink drink at a Sainsbury's shop and couldn't contain his excitement.
Daniel Christopher Chubb took to Facebook to share his discovery.
He wrote: "NEW Pink Lemonade 7UP Cans and Bottles at Sainsbury's".
Hundreds of users tagged their friends in the comments and vowed to try the new flavour.
But not everybody was so excited by the new recipe.
Mark Watson wrote: "Not for me needs full sugar."
Stuart Cardoo felt the same, saying: "You need sugar for these to have any taste."
And Liam Wilson thinks that no-sugar fizzy drinks "taste like stomach acid".
Ben Parker from Carlsberg Britvic, the parent company of 7UP, said: '7UP Pink Lemonade represents a fresh twist for what is such a popular brand.

Extra time given to controversial housing development in Powys village
2 This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today, and has been written by our American colleagues. It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald. AN EXTRA three years has been given to a developer so that they can produce detailed plans for a controversial housing development in a village near Newtown. Earlier this year Tyson and Eldrydd Lamp of Plas Dinam Country House lodged a section 73 planning application with Powys County Council. This was to vary condition two of a planning permission they had received on the site just over three years ago. In June 2022, outline planning permission was given to develop four detached dwellings, garages formation of access and associated works for land opposite Old Barn Close in Llandinam. This outline approval settled the principle of developing the site and gave the applicants three years to come up with details in an all matters reserved planning application. A further issue identified by the highways authority in comments they sent as during the consultation process is that part of the land needed for a new access to the site – was not owned by the applicant. However, correspondence between the council and the planning agent Gerallt Davies of Roger Parry and Partners show that the application was changed so that these issues would be dealt with at a later date. Mr Davies said: 'Could you change the application to be all matters reserved and revert to the original block plan as proposed please. 'With this, highways will not comment on the application, and there will be no third-party land involvement. 'This will then mean that at reserved matters stage full highway drawings will need to be provided.' Planning officer Rhian Griffiths said that the proposal was still 'considered acceptable' under policies in the Powys Local Development Plan (LDP). Ms Griffiths said: 'The application was made in outline, with all matters reserved for consideration at a later date. 'There is therefore no consideration being given as part of this application to the matters of layout, scale, appearance, access and landscaping. 'No alterations are proposed to the approved development, other than extending the time period for the submission of reserved matters, and commencement of development. (Image: Newsquest) 'The application does not therefore have any different considerations in respect of affordable housing, or density. "The original outline application was subject to 15 conditions, which are considered to remain relevant to the development. 'The same conditions will be reapplied to any granting of this application.' She went on to approve the application. A sustainable drainage application will also need to be agreed before construction work starts.
