Coca-Cola Orange and in some markets Coca-Cola with Orange, is a variation of Coca-Cola with Orange flavoring. It was originally introduced in the United Kingdom and Gibraltar for the 2007 Summer Season, following the success of the previous year's Coca-Cola Lime, for which 40% of the launch sales represented new customers and increased purchasing.
Coca-Cola Orange was designed to appeal to regular drinkers of Coca-Cola and of its citrus variants, Coke with Lemon and Coke with Lime.[citation needed] The cola was initially flavored with orange only. Coca-Cola Orange was produced in 330ml cans, 500ml plastic bottles, and two-liter plastic bottles.
Coca-Cola Orange is no longer available in the United Kingdom, except in Coca-Cola Freestyle fountain machines; the drink is also available in Latvia and Russia.[1] Coca-Cola Orange was available for a limited time in the first half of 2017 in Brazil as a seasonal product.[2]
The current, similar product, Coca-Cola Orange Vanilla, was released in the United States on February 25, 2019.[3]
History
In Germany in the 1970s, Coca-Cola sold its beverage Mezzo Mix, a drink with a similar formula to Coca-Cola Orange. Mezzo Mix is also known as Naranja & Cola or Fanta Mezzo Mix in Spain. The Swedish name for it is Fanta Mezzo, where it was released in January 2017 for a major music festival.
Mezzo Mix was offered among eight original international soda flavors for tasting at Epcot's Club Cool. In the 1990s, there were two kinds of Mezzo Mix, orange and lemon. Spezi is another beverage out of Germany that mixes cola with orange, Naranja & Cola.
In July 2007, Mezzo Mix introduced a low-calorie option, Mezzo Mix Zero, to compete with other major brands that were crossing over into the health-conscious market. The product is popular globally,[citation needed] but in the United States, it is only available in Coca-Cola Freestyle fountain machines (since 2009).
In February 2025, Coca-Cola introduced Coca-Cola Orange Cream, similar to their Orange Vanilla flavor, along with a Coca-Cola Zero Sugar variant. The promotion for the product also included merchandise, such as beanie hats and inflatable chairs.
