Product Use & Storage

What is Lemon Swirl?

Lemon Swirl is a refrigerated lemon water mix made with organic lemon juice, cold-pressed ginger and turmeric, and organic honey. It's a concentrated mix, not a drink to finish in one go: each bottle holds 8 servings (2 tablespoons each). Mix a serving into water whenever you like, as often as you like, to build a lemon water habit that's simple, delicious, and easy to stick with.

Founder Tip: My favorite way to enjoy Lemon Swirl is warm, first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. It's a simple part of my gut health routine and an easy way to start my day hydrated. I also add a serving into my water bottle before heading out the door for the day.
— Hope Skouras, Founder

What makes The Whole Hope Lemon Swirl unique?

The Whole Hope makes lemon water easy to enjoy every day. Lemon Swirl blends organic lemon juice, cold-pressed ginger and turmeric, and organic honey into a ready-to-mix bottle, so there's no squeezing and no mess. Just pour, stir, and sip. We make it in small batches with four real ingredients, and we use HPP instead of heat, which helps preserve the fresh flavor and nutrients. Created by holistic health coach Hope Skouras in Charlotte, NC, The Whole Hope is built around one simple idea: healthy habits should be easy to keep.

Why make Lemon Swirl a daily ritual?

Because small habits add up! Lemon water is one of the simplest wellness rituals out there, and Lemon Swirl makes it easy to enjoy every day.

• Hydrate first thing. Starting your morning with a warm glass of lemon water sets the tone for your day. Then add a serving to your water bottle to naturally flavor your water and enjoy staying hydrated all day.

• Get a boost of vitamin C. Every serving is a good source of antioxidant vitamin C (10% DV).

• Enjoy real ingredients. Organic lemon juice, cold-pressed ginger and turmeric, and organic honey. These gut-friendly ingredients have been treasured in kitchens around the world for centuries.

• Stay consistent. No squeezing, grating, or mess. Just mix, sip, and feel good about showing up for yourself.

Each bottle makes 8 servings, so your morning ritual is always ready, or enjoy throughout the day.

Is Lemon Swirl like a wellness shot?

Not exactly! Lemon Swirl is meant to be mixed with water for a daily lemon drink, but some people take it as a wellness shot if preferred. 

How should I use Lemon Swirl daily?

Lemon Swirl makes it easy to add lemon water to your day, however it fits your routine. We designed it as a morning ritual: mix one serving into warm water first thing to hydrate and start your day. But there's no wrong way to enjoy it. Try it:

  • Stirred into cold or sparkling water for a refreshing sip anytime
  • In hot tea for a cozy, warming cup
  • In cocktails and mocktails
  • Whisked into salad dressings and marinades
  • Taken by itself as a wellness "shot"

What matters most is making it a habit. Find the way you love it and keep it in your daily routine. For more ideas, visit our recipe page here. 

Can I drink it hot or cold?

Both work beautifully. Many people enjoy Lemon Swirl with warm water in the morning and again later in the day with cold water for refreshing hydration!

How long does Lemon Swirl last after opening?

Use within 10 days of opening. Each bottle is 8 total servings.

How long does Lemon Swirl last unopened?

Unopened bottles keep for up to 90 days (~3 months) in the fridge.

Do I need to refrigerate Lemon Swirl?

Yes. Lemon Swirl is made with fresh ingredients and should be kept refrigerated!

What's the best way to finish my bottle?

For the freshest taste, enjoy your Lemon Swirl within 10 days of opening. Need ideas to use it up? Beyond your daily lemon water, it's delicious in hot tea, cocktails and mocktails, salad dressings, marinades, and even soup!

Can I freeze the bottles?

Please don't refreeze them. Lemon Swirl ships frozen for safe travel, and it's normal for bottles to arrive partially or fully thawed. Just pop them in the fridge when they arrive and keep them there. Refreezing can affect quality and the bottle seal, so sip it chilled and happy!

Ingredients & Quality

What’s in Lemon Swirl?

Organic lemon juice, cold-pressed ginger, cold-pressed turmeric, and organic honey. That's it. Real, whole ingredients with no additives or fillers.

Are Lemon Swirls pasteurized?

Lemon Swirls are made safe using HPP (High Pressure Processing), a gentle cold-pressure method that protects flavor without heat or preservatives. It’s our clean, cold way of caring for real ingredients.

Why isn't my bottle filled to the top?

Every bottle of Lemon Swirl is carefully filled to exactly 8 oz. Because we ship frozen, the space at the top gives Lemon Swirl room to expand so your bottle arrives safely.

Is it vegan / gluten-free / allergen-friendly?

Lemon Swirl is made without gluten or dairy ingredients. Because it contains honey, it isn't considered vegan.

Is it safe for kids or pregnancy?

Lemon Swirl contains honey, so it's not recommended for children under 1 year old. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have questions about your child's diet, please check with your healthcare provider.

Is it normal to see a little color on my bottle?

That's the turmeric! Lemon Swirl is made with real cold-pressed turmeric, which has a naturally vibrant golden color. Every now and then, a little can transfer to the label or bottle during production. It doesn't affect what's inside. It's just a sign we work with real ingredients.

Can the color or flavor vary slightly?

That’s the nature of small-batch, real ingredients. Each harvest has its own personality, so gentle variations in color or flavor are completely natural – and part of the beauty of the craft.

Shipping & Subscription

Do you charge for shipping?

Yes, we do charge for shipping. Because Lemon Swirl is fresh and refrigerated, we ship it in insulated packaging with ice packs to protect quality during transit. Shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on your location and order size.

We’re committed to delivering your bottles cold, safe, and ready for your daily ritual.

How do you ship your orders?

Every order is packed with ice packs in an insulated box and ships early in the week via UPS. Transit usually takes 2–3 business days, depending on your location, and you'll receive a tracking email once your order ships.

To keep your order from sitting in transit over the weekend, if a Wednesday shipment wouldn't arrive by Friday, we'll send it the following Monday instead. Please refrigerate on arrival.

Do I need to be home when my box arrives?

Ideally, yes, but we know life happens! Our insulated packaging is designed to keep your order cold in transit, not to sit outside for long after delivery. Please bring your box inside as soon as possible after it arrives.

If you won't be home, we recommend shipping to your workplace or a trusted neighbor, or using UPS My Choice® to redirect your package to an address where someone can bring it inside right away.

Once your package is marked delivered, it's your responsibility to bring it inside and refrigerate your order promptly.

What if my bottles arrive thawed?

Thawing is totally normal! Lemon Swirl ships frozen, and your bottles may partially or fully thaw along the way. What matters is that your order arrives cool to the touch: as long as your bottles and/or ice packs still feel cool to the touch, your order arrived in good condition. Just place your bottles in the fridge right away, and once opened, enjoy within 10 days for the freshest taste.

If both your bottles and ice packs feel warm, please don't consume them. See "What if there's a problem with my order?" below.

Where do you ship?

We currently ship to the continental U.S. only. We don't ship to P.O. boxes, APO, or FPO addresses yet, but we're working on it! All orders ship via UPS.

Can I pause, skip, or cancel my subscription?

Yes, you're always in control! Log into your subscriber portal anytime to make changes.

Have extra Lemon Swirl on hand? Before you cancel, try one of these:

  • Skip your next shipment
  • Pause your subscription until you're ready
  • Switch to deliveries every 6 or 8 weeks
  • Get creative! Lemon Swirl is delicious in hot tea, cocktails and mocktails, salad dressings, marinades, and even soup. Find more ideas on our recipe page here.

Unopened bottles keep for up to 90 days in the fridge, so a little extra on hand is no problem. If you still need to cancel, you can do that in your portal too.

How often will I receive shipments?

You choose! Subscribe for delivery every 4, 6, or 8 weeks, or place a one-time order. If you enjoy one serving a day, every 4 weeks is a great place to start. Have bottles piling up? Switch to every 6 or 8 weeks in your subscriber portal. It only takes a minute, and your daily ritual stays on track.

Can I update my shipping address or payment info?

Absolutely! Log into your subscriber portal anytime to update your address, payment details, or delivery frequency. Just make your changes before your next order processes so they apply to that shipment.

Refunds & Replacements

What if there is a problem with my order?

If your order arrives damaged, leaking, missing items, or with both the ice packs and bottles warm, please don't consume it. Reach out through our Contact Form or at hello@thewholehope.com within 24 hours of delivery and include:

  • Your order number
  • Photos of the box, shipping label, bottles, and ice packs as you received them

Claims submitted without photos or more than 24 hours after delivery can't be reviewed. Each claim is reviewed case by case, and we'll do our best to make it right.

Do you accept returns?

Because our products are perishable, all sales are final and we're not able to accept returns. Refunds are only available for orders that haven't been processed yet.

Do you refund shipping?

Shipping charges, including our cold-chain fee, are non-refundable. If your order arrives damaged, leaking, missing items, or with both the bottles and ice packs warm, contact us within 24 hours of delivery with your order number and photos. Approved claims are resolved with a replacement shipped at no cost to you.

What isn't covered?

The Whole Hope is not responsible for:

  • Lost or stolen packages
  • Product left out for extended periods after delivery
  • Weather or carrier delays outside our control
  • Orders shipped to an incorrect or incomplete address
  • Packages held, rescheduled, or picked up from a UPS location at the customer's request

Sustainability

Are the bottles recyclable?

Yes. Our PET bottles are fully recyclable – just give them a quick rinse and place them in your recycling bin.

What should I do with the ice packs?

Feel free to reuse or refreeze them! If you'd like to dispose of them, please follow the instructions printed on the pack.

Can I recycle the insulated liners?

Most curbside programs accept them. Please check with your local recycling provider for further details.

What is The Whole Hope doing to reduce waste?
