I know this has been bought up before, but l tried a bottle of this yesterday. Very nice. Can't see the point if sugar free Lucozade really, seeing as it is an energy drink. But one more point I must mention. Despite saying on the label zero calories, it's not. Each bottle is 20 calories & about 3g carb.
 
They're obviously responding to the sugar tax/ all sugar is evil furore. In which case it's just another diet fizzy drink to join the millions of others. I agree it seems strange branding as lucozade the brand is known as an energy drink - I imagine it will be pricey as well. What's wrong with a diet Rola Cola? :D The carbs are from the fruit juices - but next to nothing.
 
It is just another diet fizzy drink. It's not really Lucozade without the sugar.
 
Anyone know which shops/supermarkets are selling this? I haven't seen it about yet. Can't see me becoming a convert but my son likes Lucozade and I hate the sugar content for him.

They have it in our Sainsbury's. My husband likes it, and it makes a passable sangria when mixed with a cheap Spanish wine-box red!
 
I got mine in Co-Op. Oh, & thanks for that Sangria recipe, Radders. That's me sorted for the weekend.:D
 
If anyone is still interested in this they have it at Home Bargains - 59p for the 380ml bottles. (I think you can get it at the supermarkets for £3.60 for 6 but in case you just want the one bottle.)

For those who use lucozade as a hypo treatment they also have the normal one in a 380ml bottle at the same price.
 
I want to try mixing it with red wine.:D
 
I tasted this today (neat, having only tried it in sangria before) and thought it had a very nice orangey flavour.
