TK Lemonade, formerly known as Taylor Keith, is an Irish soft drink brand owned by Britvic Ireland.[1][2][3][4] Originally founded in 1888[5][6] in Wicklow as a mineral water company, the brand has become most widely known for its red lemonade,[7][8][9] which it claims to have invented.

The company was purchased by Cantrell and Cochrane (C&C) in the 1950s, following the retirement of Noel Taylor.[10]
Following the acquisition of C&C's soft drinks division in May 2007, TK became part of Britvic Ireland.[citation needed]
