European coca-cola alternatives
European coca-cola alternatives
Cuba cola from Sweden.
Cockta has a dark color like cola but it doesn't really taste like it. It's more herbal, it's like Coke vs DrPepper
Sometimes not that easy to find
Tap water
Cola should not be your first choice to stay hydrated, but it's okay to drink Cola once a week or so
Best answer.
We have Grans Cola and extra cola here in Norway, probably a lot more as well, but shipping them internationally would probably not be worth the hassle if you have local produce. I can recommend club mate cola for import, its strange enough not to be too commonplace.
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.
I fully support this. And for all the above-average curious people who need to hear this (like me):
Please stay strong. Maybe one day you will be where that other cola is. You could even use the web to get to know someone who is travelling there soon and will be able to buy some and giving it to you after coming back.
If you think, wow, this guy's overthinking, taking this way too seriously, well... even when you only want minimal to no social interactions and on top of that do not want to practice mutual aid and just satisfy your curiosity and/or imagination of a perfect Cola:
Why don't you try to produce one yourself with this open source recipe?
Don’t ship sugar water trough Europe by lorry,
pfft, actually deal with the situation - build pipelines. jfc europe get it together
Tbf, that's the upside of a major corporation like Coca Cola. They only transport the syrup and fill the bottles at local factories.
Afri Cola from Germany https://afri.de/produkte/afri-cola/
Fritz Kola from Germany https://fritz-kola.com/en
Sinalco Cola from Germany https://sinalco.de/produkte/cola
In Portugal practically all medium to large chain has its own brand of Cola, competing with Pepsi and Coke.
I would guess everywhere else in Europe too no? For non-Portuguese: Your supermarket probably has its own brand, eg Aldi Cola, Lidl Cola…
Mio Mio from Germany
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)...
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
Jolly Cola from Denmark
Cuba Cola from Sweden
Breizh Cola, from Brittany in France https://www.breizhcola.bzh/
Molecola from Italy! It is really good! https://molecolaitalia.it/
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
Vita Cola from Germany https://www.vita-cola.de/
Cuba Cola from Sweden
Green Cola from Greece
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
You can make your own cola syrup, there's a bunch of recipes out there.

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.
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
Dieter Schwarz (German richtest Person a billionaire) the owner of Kaufland is infamous for exploiting worker rights where possible, fighting unions etc. Just because its european doesnt mean we gotta support those guys
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...
