Tap water
Best answer.
Buy your locally produced Cola. Don't start to import cola produced in Germany to Spain or the Norwegian lemonade to Italy. Don't ship sugar water trough Europe by lorry, we have enough traffic on our motorways already.
Tbf, that's the upside of a major corporation like Coca Cola. They only transport the syrup and fill the bottles at local factories.
If you are in germany, i can recommend the kaufland store brands, in my opinion from all store brands they taste the closest to coca cola brands
There's easily 100 different kinds of Cola and Cola-Orange ("Spezi") mixes produced in the EU it's easiest to start taste-testing with everything in your local grocery store and finding out if one of them is to your liking. If you're from Germany, there's at least Fritz-Cola, Afri-Cola, Proviant-Cola, Paulaner Spezi (and Spezi made by many other breweries)...
If I never see a post about Coca Cola alternatives again it will be too soon. Why are all y'all so freaking obsessed?!
We drink a lot of cuba libre.
Fritz Kola from Germany https://fritz-kola.com/en
Everyone of course knows Fentimans and Fritz-kola
First sentence by op
Oh wow, how did I miss that? :D Sorry!
Don't worry, still solid advice ;)
In Eastern Germany they have VitaCola, which was their former GDR Cola. They still outsell Coca Cola there, but I guess it's an acquired taste. I personally don't like it very much
It tastes ten times better, since it contains some lemon flavor.
Which tastes very artificial IMO.
But maybe it's just like with Club Mate or Coffee, you need to have a few of them before you like them
Just a local ripoff. I personally drink blues zero, it tastes the same as Coca Cola zero
I hadn't tried it myself but saw it suggested somewhere else. It's the austrian Coca Cola version
In Portugal practically all medium to large chain has its own brand of Cola, competing with Pepsi and Coke.
OMG I love Cockta 😍. It has it's own very nice and distinct taste. But unfortunately it's very hard to get in Germany. And it's also not made in Slovenia anymore but in Croatia. (Which is a pity, but thanks to the Croats for bringing this drink back to life, and marketing it successfully)
Kofola is also very nice, because you can get it fresh from Tap in Slovakia and Czech Republic
Afri-Cola and Fritz-Kola taste both not very good IMO, but the other Lemonades and MischMasch from Fritz are great though
You can make your own cola syrup, there's a bunch of recipes out there.
Cuba Cola from Sweden
Spezi, Alaska, Oettinger ColaMix All german. Well atleast from what i know. An app showed me they are owned by coca cola but idk
That App is wrong...
