Small-group weekend campers
An eight-can pack gives a small group individual drinks without taking a 24-can case. The 8 × 330ml and 24 × 330ml formats listed by Sainsbury’s and Tesco hold 2.64 and 7.92 litres respectively.
Who is each pack for?
The useful distinction is how many individual cans the group needs and how the pack will get to the campsite.
Group-camp organisers
A 24 × 330ml case can cover more shared meals, provided there is space to transport and store it. Confirm stock before relying on one particular listing.
Campers choosing a no-sugar drink
No-sugar lemonade and zero-sugar lemon-and-lime drinks offer different flavours. Check the exact can’s ingredients and phenylalanine statement if either matters to someone in the group.
What should you check before packing?
Work out the number of cans you will use, then compare drink type, ingredients and the practicalities of taking the pack to camp.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size | Count the cans and compare total volume: 6 × 330ml is 1.98 litres, 8 × 330ml is 2.64 litres and 24 × 330ml is 7.92 litres. Allow space to carry and store them. | I want enough separate drinks for the trip without taking a case the group will not use. |
| Drink type | Check whether the label says lemonade, slimline lemonade or lemon-and-lime. Compare sugar on the same per-can or per-100ml basis; Schweppes regular lemonade lists 14g sugars per 330ml, according to Sainsbury’s. | If traditional lemonade flavour matters to us, I do not want to substitute a lemon-and-lime drink by mistake. |
| Ingredients | Read the sweetener list and any phenylalanine statement on the exact pack. Do not assume that a no-sugar label describes its other ingredients. | Someone in our group may need to check particular ingredients before we pack the cans. |
| Stock and empties | Confirm that the chosen pack is available for your delivery or collection area. Check the campsite’s recycling provision and bring a way to carry empty cans away. | I need a pack I can obtain before departure and a plan for the cans after we have used them. |
Common packing mistakes
-
Taking a full case without counting drinks
A 24 × 330ml case holds 7.92 litres, compared with 2.64 litres in an eight-pack. That difference matters when carrying supplies to a walk-in pitch or finding storage space.
Estimate how many cans the group will use across meals before choosing the pack size.
-
Assuming every lemon-flavoured can is lemonade
Regular lemonade, no-sugar lemonade and lemon-and-lime drinks differ in flavour and ingredients. Sainsbury’s lists 14g sugars per 330ml for regular Schweppes Lemonade, while its Schweppes Slimline listing says no sugar.
Check the drink description and nutrition panel on the variant you intend to pack.
-
Overlooking ingredient statements
A zero-sugar name does not tell you which sweeteners the drink contains. The Sainsbury’s Schweppes Slimline listing also identifies a source of phenylalanine.
Read the physical can label where an ingredient or phenylalanine statement is relevant to a camper.
-
Planning around a listing without checking stock
Tesco’s R. White’s and Barr 24-can lemonade listings were marked out of stock in October 2026. A listed pack is not necessarily available for a particular trip.
Confirm current delivery or collection availability before finalising the drinks you will take.

Camping lemonade FAQs
How much drink is in a 24-can camping pack?
A 24 × 330ml pack contains 7.92 litres in 24 separate cans. An 8 × 330ml pack contains 2.64 litres, so choose according to the number of drinkers and the space available to carry and store it.
Are zero-sugar lemon drinks the same as lemonade?
Not always. Sainsbury’s describes Schweppes Slimline as no-sugar lemonade, while 7UP Zero Sugar and Sprite No Sugar are lemon-and-lime drinks. Decide whether that flavour difference works for the group, and check the exact pack’s sweeteners and phenylalanine statement.
Can I recycle empty lemonade cans after camping?
Use the campsite’s labelled recycling facilities if it has them; otherwise take the empties away and follow your local council’s instructions. Worcestershire County Council, for example, accepts aluminium drinks cans in its green bin or a mixed recycling container at a household recycling centre, but campsite and council arrangements can differ.
Can I rely on a listed 24-can case being in stock?
No. Tesco marked its R. White’s and Barr 24 × 330ml lemonade listings out of stock in October 2026. Recheck availability for your delivery or collection area before planning the trip around a particular case.
