Coca-Cola Raspberry, Diet Coke Raspberry and Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Raspberry are variants of the Coca-Cola drink with a raspberry flavor, produced by The Coca-Cola Company and its bottlers.
On 20 April 2005, Coca-Cola Amatil announced the launch of Coca-Cola Raspberry for a release on June 1 in New Zealand for a limited time. [1] It was the third Coca-Cola flavour to be released in New Zealand after Cherry Coke and Vanilla Coke. [2] It was sold until the end of the year, and was released in Fiji the following year.[ citation needed ]
The drink made its American debut as a selectable choice on the new Coca-Cola Freestyle soda fountains in 2009, although this variant of the drink, like all Coca-Cola flavours, is simply flavour syrup added into regular Coca-Cola. [3]
On 26 October 2017, Coca-Cola Amatil announced that the drink would return to New Zealand for the 2017-2018 summer season. This version of the drink utilized a different formula from the 2005 incarnation, containing the artificial sweeteners Sucrolose and Acesulfame-K that would allow the drink to have 25% less sugar than standard Coca-Cola. [4] The drink was introduced into Australia as well, with the same formula [5] and was available till 2019. [6]
A similar variant, Coca-Cola California Raspberry, was introduced in the United States in 2018 as a natural, home-produced product sweetened with cane sugar. [7] [8]
A Diet Coke Raspberry variant was also produced and sold at the same time as the standard variety in New Zealand in 2005. [1]
A Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Raspberry variant was first released in August 2018 in Finland and Norway. [9] [10] This flavor was further launched in Great Britain and Denmark in January 2019. [11] [12] Its Danish marketed name was Coca-Cola Hindbær. [12] In January 2020 the drink launched in Sweden, [13] and has since also launched in the Netherlands in April 2021, [14] Belgium, Taiwan,[ citation needed ] and in Australia in March 2023. [6]
