Last week somebody asked me why oranges/clementines were seen as a Christmas flavour, and I said I wasn’t sure. Having thought about it and looked into it a bit I think it goes back to a time when such things were rather exotic, as we didn’t have the transport methods and import structures, so they would be bought a s treat at the festive time of year. Anyway, here we have another orange(ish) themed seasonal product, Festive Clementine Diet Coke.
I have been enjoying the selection of interesting flavours from Coca-Cola that have been out the last few years and they have yet another one out in time for Christmas. The new flavours are all part of the sugar free ranges, and this one too is a ‘Diet’ Coke edition. I like the wrapper on the bottle with its tree designs and managed to get two bottles on offer which was a bonus.
First thing is first I was actually impressed but the fact that I could taste clementines strongly in this drink. It wasn’t oranges, it was the softer sweeter more delicate flavour of actual clementines which impressed me. I always think that citrus flavours work well with cola and this is no exception, it enhanced the flavour and gave it a lovely festive twist. I thought the drink was very refreshing, and the clementines probably would work all year, the added zesty flavour would make it a nice summer treat too. I am enjoying all these lovely limited edition flavours they keep brining out, I just hope this one might stick around for a bit.
