Our Story

Built by a kid
with big dreams.

At just 10 years old, Isaac "Ike" Carter is already a co-founder. What began on a corner stand with his father has grown into a beverage brand with thousands of bottles sold and a community that keeps showing up. This is how a family turned lemons into a movement.

Real moments, real family.

Snapshots from the stand, the events, the family behind every bottle.

The Journey

From a stand
to a brand.

2023

The Idea

It started simple: a 7-year-old, a fold-out table, and a pitcher of lemonade his dad helped him squeeze. The line on the corner stayed long all day. Something was there.

The First Bottle

A real label. A real bottle. Ike helped design the brand, dad handled the paperwork, and the family started showing up at local events. The first 1,000 bottles flew.

2025

4,000+ Bottles

From pop-ups and BBQs to local store shelves, Ike's became a community staple. Ike helped record the brand jingle. Family, music, and lemonade — all coming together.

The Brand

Six flavors, dozens of stocked spots, and a growing family of fans. We're rolling out wholesale and online ordering in 2026 — but the soul stays the same.

What We Stand For

Family. Honesty. Joy.

Three values that Ike learned at the stand and that still drive every batch we bottle.

Family First

Built by a father and son. Every decision passes through the dinner table — and our extended family of cousins, siblings, and customers gets a vote in spirit.

Honest Ingredients

Real lemons. Real cane sugar. Real water. No concentrates, no fake flavors. If we wouldn't pour it for our own cousins, we won't pour it for you.

Spread Joy

It's a beverage, but it's also a moment — a hot day cooled, a customer remembered by name. We're here to bottle the feeling of a great afternoon.
