Champagne cola


Champagne cola, champagne kola, or champagne soda is a sweetened carbonated beverage produced mainly in the tropics of Latin America or India. Kola Champagne was invented in Puerto Rico by Ángel Rivero Méndez.
It is typically dark yellow to light brown in colour, with a flavour comparable to bubblegum or cream soda, with no connection to "champagne" or "cola". In many countries, "kola" is used as a general term for all soft drinks. A similar product is the Peruvian Inca Kola.
