How it is made
Pepsi Cola is made from carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, phosphoric acid, caffeine, citric acid, and natural flavors. The exact recipe is a closely guarded secret, but these ingredients contribute to its signature taste and effervescence.
History
Pepsi Cola was created in the late 19th century by pharmacist Caleb Bradham in New Bern, North Carolina. Originally marketed as 'Brad's Drink,' it was rebranded as Pepsi-Cola in 1898. Over the years, it has evolved into a global brand, competing closely with Coca-Cola.
In cocktails
Bartenders often use Pepsi Cola as a mixer in cocktails, particularly in drinks that benefit from its sweetness and carbonation. It pairs well with spirits like rum, whiskey, and vodka. When serving, it is typically poured over ice and garnished with a slice of lime or lemon for added flavor.
Worth knowing
Pepsi was the first cola brand to introduce a diet version, known as Diet Pepsi, in 1964.
