Iconic drink L&P inspires Paeroa students to create new twist on old favourite

November 13, 2017

The locally made fruity sorbet, inspired by Kiwi favourite L and P, saw students transformed into foodie entrepreneurs.

Lemon and Paeroa, the iconic Kiwi drink which made the Waikato town of Paeroa famous, is going cold. 

While the drink itself is now made in Auckland, the town still attracts travellers eager to get a photo next to the giant L&P bottle. 

Now a group of local students have been inspired to create a new twist on the old favourite.
