Ski is an orange and lemon flavored soft drink using actual orange and lemon concentrates manufactured by the Double Cola Company. Some have likened Ski’s unique citrus flavor to Mountain Dew, Mello Yello or Squirt.

Due to usage of real orange juice and lemon concentrates, the Double Cola Company claims that Ski is one of the only all-natural sodas.

US Distribution
Ski can be found in Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee and Florida.

History
The Double Cola Company originally created Ski in 1956 and trademarked the soda in 1958. From the original pictures, it appears as though Ski’s name was originally chosen to be associated with water skiing.

Another type of ski, Cherry Ski, was added to the product line thanks to the creativity in Breese, IL, a location for the Excel Bottling Company, a Ski bottler. Ski can be found on tap at many Clinton County, IL restaurants and gas stations. Besides Cherry, Ski also comes in diet and caffeine free varieties.

In 1999, the Ski can was redesigned and now reads, "Taste the Wake."
