And now fans can try a 'Very Cherry' flavor, according to one after online.
The announcement was made on the Facebook group Newfoodsuk after it was spotted in an Asda store.
SunnyD fanatics were ecstatic and wanted to try the new drink.
One said: “Ooh, I'll have to keep an eye on that.”
Another commented: “I got this the other day along with blue raspberry.”
A third wrote: “This sounds amazing.”
Sunny Delight was originally developed in Florida, USA in 1963 and launched in Britain in 1998.
The juice brand launched an alcoholic version — SunnyD Vodka Seltzer — at Walmart last year.
Each can contains 95 calories and zero grams of sugar.
A pack of four costs $9.99 (£8.44).
Ilene Bergenfeld, CMO of Harvest Hill, said the launch of the alcoholic beverage came about at the request of fans.
She said, “So we looked at the hard seltzer category and thought, good, but we can do better. And SunnyD Vodka Seltzer was born.”

History of SunnyD
The orange drink was originally developed by Doric Foods in 1963 in Florida, USA.
Sundor Brands bought out Doric Foods before Procter & Gamble bought the company in 1989.
It was subsequently spun off into the independent Sunny Delight Beverages Company (SDBC) in 2005.
The drink was launched in Britain in 1998.
In 1999 it became the third best-selling drink, after Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
Today the drink is distributed by Dr Pepper/Seven Up in the US and Saputo in Canada.
