My one vice is diet caffeine free coke, I’m so rock and roll. Trying to find a UK/EU alternative I keep finding almost all drink brands are owned by Coke or Pepsi. These companies which originated in the USA have entities in the EU, which complicates the decision. Can anyone recommend a wholly UK(ideally) or EU alternative that’s reasonably priced?

    It would be great to get the syrup and mix at home, is there any company selling cola flavored syrup?

      Yeah, there is this whole sodastream ecosystem (and several competitors) and they are also providing you with Cola syrup. But, TBH, I really don’t like how they taste

      There’s Sodastream. I don’t know if you want to include them in your boycott, they’re from Israel.

        Not really sure why, I’ve never liked sodastream as brand, so I usually discard them as option.

        I’ve been trying FruttaMax syrups, and just now I’ve found they make a cola flavored one, so I will try

        Also, looking for this yesterday, I found ElevenFit for flavouring, but they deliver as powder instead of syrup. They seem to do the packaging within my region, so I will definitely try it soon even when I am not too inclined to use powdered products.
