Coffee-Infused Cola Beverages

Pepsi Café Blends Coffee and Cola in Slim Portable Cans

— December 12, 2019 — Lifestyle
In April 2020, United States consumers can look forward to enjoying a new offering from PepsiCo called Pepsi Café that combines cola and coffee. The caffeinated beverage enhances the taste of Pepsi with roasted Arabica coffee and is set to be available in flavors like Original and Vanilla. Notably, these energizing beverages will be packaged in tall, 12-ounce cans that contain almost double the amount of caffeine in classic Pepsi.

Back in 1992, Pepsi Kona was introduced as a beverage that fused coffee and original cola—now, this idea is being reinvented to meet the demand for drinks that are energizing, indulgent and refreshing. The unique new hybrid beverage has the potential to appeal to a wide range of consumers, including those who love the taste of cola and iced coffee.
