Cove Soda
Original
Cove Soda is a zero-sugar, caffeine-free soft drink in 355 mL cans. The line spans cola, root beer, cream soda, fruit flavours, and Dr. Cove. Each can is vegan, gluten-free, and a source of vitamin C.
Cove Drinks owns the brand from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Brothers John and Ryan MacLellan started it at a farmers' market in 2017. Filling happens in London, Ontario. Keurig Dr Pepper Canada sells the line in grocery, but the company stays independent.
Plant-based stevia and erythritol stand in for sugar, so added sugar stays at 0 g. The brand now uses prebiotic acacia fibre. Keep cans in a pantry. They drink better from the fridge.
