Orange Coke (1 Viewer)

If you find yourself at a restaurant with the fancy Coke Freestyle machine, pour yourself a glass of coke orange. Stuff is extremely tasty. I have no idea why they don't sell it everywhere.

 
When I was at Five Guys a little while back I tried the lime coke. Was not bad at all.

Fantasy coke machine and restaurant probably shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
I mean you're pouring yourself your own drink.
They're obviously much more common in fast food, but I've seen them in a couple sit down-places. Setup isn't any different than normal, they still get you your drink, you just have a much bigger drink list to choose from.

 
I'd like to try out more of the sprite flavors. I did get vanilla sprite once and it was meh, I think some of the more bold mix-ins like raspberry would be better.

 
Are you 9 years old? This sounds like something my son would drink.
Relax chief, it's just Coke with a subtle hint of orange that tastes delicious. I really don't understand why an adult couldn't enjoy this. Is Vanilla Coke also meant only for children?

 
Is the taste similar to Sunkist, Orange Fanta, Orange Crush or something close, but not quite?

It's not a strong orange taste, so it's not like any of those. It's the regular Coke flavour/colour with a slight orange tint. It is a surprisingly nice combo.

Cherry sprite is pretty good. They've got the machine at the local firehouse subs.

 
They got one of these bad boys at the hip pizza joint that's walking distance from my office. I am a big fan of cherry Coke (especially when the "cherry" is added). I'll give the orange a try next time I go.

 
Can't imagine it would be bad compared to a couple of really bad soft drinks I've tried.

7up Gold - cinnamon flavored. Tasted like carbonated mouthwash.

Spruce Beer - Tastes like how a pine tree air freshener smells. Has the consistency of peanut oil with carbonation. :X

 
For those that have worked in a well-stocked bar or restaurant bar, they'll get this:

The Freestyle machines are cool and all. Favorite add-ins to Coke, though, are squeezed orange slices (maybe a half teaspoon of juice). Squeezed lime wedges are very good, too. Lemon is crisp, but really just OK compared to orange and lime.

Cherry Coke lovers should enjoy grenadine in their Coke. Grenadine is the add-in to Sprite/7-Up to yield the kid favorite Shirley Temple.

 
Got an orange coke with my taco salad at Qdoba today, I added a couple lemon wedges and it was pretty good. The orange flavor was definitely overpowering though, I think it tastes exactly like one of those orange mountain dew kickstarts.
