Classic Cola

Classic Cola is Cove's caramel-cola flavour in a 355 mL can. One serving is 10 calories, with 0 g sugar and 4 g of fibre from acacia. It is caffeine-free, vegan, and gluten-free.

The MacLellan brothers own Cove Drinks in Halifax. This flavour is packed in London, Ontario. National grocery reach comes through Keurig Dr Pepper Canada. Sweeteners and flavourings are plant-based, and the brand does not name a Canadian farm source for them.

The taste is the corner-store cola profile, with a vanilla hint on the brand page. Caramel colour and phosphoric acid sit in the ingredient list. Serve it over ice or beside a meal that wants a dark pop.
