Overflowing with juicy sweetness and sunshine-ready refreshment, the revived Passion Fruit flavour is set to become a summer 2025 staple. Whether enjoyed ice-cold, mixed into a fruity cooler, or on a slow, sunny afternoon, it delivers an instant burst of feel-good energy that will elevate every moment.

“OROS has always been more than a drink. It’s a proudly South African icon woven into our heritage,” said the Senior Brand Manager at OROS, Siphesihle Vena.  “Generations have grown up with OROS in their cupboards, and the return of our Passion Fruit variant honours that legacy while giving South Africans the burst of flavour they have been waiting for."

The relaunch celebrates what has always defined OROS: strong family nostalgia, unmistakable flavour, and an authentic connection to South African culture. Trusted, accessible, and proudly homegrown, OROS has long been a staple at weekend gatherings, school lunchboxes, and everyday family moments, an iconic symbol of comfort and togetherness.

The OROS portfolio continues to offer the refreshing flavours South Africans love, including:

• Orange (Original): The classic, most-loved taste

• Naartjie: A sweet, tangy citrus favourite

• Tropical: A bold blend of sunny flavours

• Pineapple: Crisp and refreshingly vibrant

• Mango: Smooth, sweet, and fruit-forward

• Passion Fruit: A tropical, zesty favourite returning better than ever

• Lemos: Zesty, bright, and perfectly refreshing

• Guava: A creamy, tropical favourite with a distinctly South African feel

With its bold, fruity profile, OROS Passion Fruit captures the essence of a South African summer: vibrant, nostalgic, and unmistakably local. As one of the country’s most beloved household brands, OROS continues to represent the best of homegrown refreshment.

This summer, South Africans are encouraged to “mix it up” with OROS, creating their own vibrant Passion Fruit moments at home, on the go, or wherever the sunshine leads. Whether it’s a chilled mocktail, a family cooler, or a refreshing twist on a classic, OROS is ready to bring flavour, nostalgia, and fun to every occasion.
