Coca-Cola Raspberry

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.

Regular version

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.

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]

Diet version

A Diet Coke Raspberry variant was also produced and sold at the same time as the standard variety in New Zealand in 2005.[1]

Zero Sugar version

A Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Raspberry variant was first released in August 2018 in Finland and Norway.[8][9] This flavor was further launched in Great Britain and Denmark in January 2019.[10][11] Its Danish marketed name was Coca-Cola Hindbær.[11] In January 2020 the drink launched in Sweden,[12] and has since also launched in the Netherlands in April 2021,[13] Belgium, Taiwan, and in Australia in March 2023.[6]
