Coca-Cola Freestyle

Coca-Cola Freestyle is a touch screen soda fountain distributed and run by The Coca-Cola Company. First launched in 2009, the machine features over 165[1][2][3] different Coca-Cola drink products, as well as custom flavors,[4] allowing users to select from mixtures of flavors of Coca-Cola branded products which are then individually dispensed.

The machines are located in major Coca-Cola partners and retail locations in the United States[5] and in a number of other countries around the world, such as in chain restaurants, cinemas, resorts, and in Royal Caribbean ships.[6]

Products

Customers choose a base product,[38] which they can supplement with additional flavoring. Diet and Zero products remain low or no calories even with flavorings added. The machines include flavors not previously available to the markets served by the machines (for example Orange in the US).[39] Customers may also download an app and create their own custom mixes with up to three different base products and three different flavor shots, which the fountain pours by scanning a QR code.[40]

Flavors

Chain and location-specific Flavors

Since 2010, Dr Pepper and its Diet counterpart are served instead of Pibb Xtra/Pibb Zero in areas where Dr Pepper is bottled by a local Coca-Cola distributor or at locations with separate fountain contracts to serve Dr Pepper.[41]

When Freestyle machines were added to Firehouse Subs locations in 2011, the chain's signature Cherry Lime-Aid was included as an option; marking the first time a chain's signature drink was available in a Freestyle machine.[42][43] Light and Zero options are also available.

In May 2013, Freestyle machines located in the "Antarctica" themed area at SeaWorld Orlando added an exclusive vanilla-flavored freestyle flavor called "South Pole Chill".[44]

In May 2014, Freestyle machines at Moe's Southwest Grill locations added a vanilla/peach-flavored drink called "Vanilla at Peachtree".[45] The chain added a second exclusive drink called Moe-Rita in May 2017, described as combining "limeade, lemonade, orange and original flavors for a refreshing margarita-inspired sip".[46]

Machines at Wendy's locations have many unique and exclusive beverages. Examples include a range of cream soda drinks named after founder Dave Thomas, Fruit Punch varieties of Sprite and Fanta, and a re-release of Sprite Remix Aruba Jam in 2024.[47]

Since 2018, machines at select Burger King franchisees have Surge as an available option. It is available in Cherry, Vanilla, Grape, and Zero Sugar varieties.[48][49]

Machines on Royal Caribbean cruise ships added a Berry-flavored Sprite variety called "Royal Berry Blast" in October 2019, to celebrate the cruise line's 50th anniversary.[50]

Machines in the University of South Florida campus added an exclusive Fanta variety called "Rocky's Refresher" in 2023. This drink is a pre-mixed combination of Fanta Lime, Sprite and Minute Maid Limeade.[51]

Machines at the Universal Orlando Resort offer several Secret Menu flavors depending on the location.[52]

Recently, machines at AMC Theatres locations alongside other movie theater chains have offered pre-assigned combinations based on films such as Top Gun Maverick, Deadpool & Wolverine, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Wicked.

In mid-2024 Peace Iced Tea made its debut on Freestyle machines, replacing Fuse iced tea.
