Nitro Pepsi is a cola soft drink produced by PepsiCo. It is a nitrogen-infused version of Pepsi. The addition of nitrogen gas, instead of the usual carbon dioxide, creates a smooth texture. It was developed around 2019, [1] and has been marketed since March 2022. [2] The drink comes in an aluminum can containing a widget that infuses the drink with nitrogen when the can is opened, similar to some nitrogen canned draft beers like Guinness. [3] The beverage is also available in a vanilla flavor. [4]

Reception

Ross Yoder, writing for BuzzFeed , stated that "Nitro Pepsi essentially tastes like flat (but ice-cold!) Pepsi. More than that, I found it to be altogether too sweet." [5] Josh Jackson, writing for Paste magazine, also noted the sweetness and said it was "super creamy and buttery". [6]
