Coca-Cola Spiced, unveiled Wednesday, combines the "iconic taste of Coca-Cola with a burst of refreshing notes from raspberry and spiced flavors," the company said. It will be a permanent member of the brand’s North American slate of soft drinks.
Retailers across the U.S. and Canada will start carrying Coca-Cola Spiced on Feb. 19. The company added a clock to its website to count down to the release.
The last time Coca-Cola launched a new flavor permanently was more than three years ago, according to the company. It has previously offered flavors like Y3000 and Dreamworld on a temporary basis.
Coca-Cola, which also owns Fanta, Dasani, Minute Maid, Topo Chico and other beverage brands, announced the new flavor just less than a week before it is due to release its fourth-quarter financial results.
In its most recent annual report, the company said its various beverages "account for 2.2 billion of the estimated 64 billion servings of all beverages consumed worldwide."
It also reported Coca-Cola products made up 46% of the 32.7 billion total unit cases it sold in 2022.
