Craft cola is a small movement from Japan focused on going back to the roots of cola as an all-natural syrup used as a drink mixer. It's rooted in traditional medicines that use a variety of spices, but is still a sweet and refreshingly tasty treat that blends fruits and cane sugar. It's most often mixed with club soda.

How is craft cola made?

Craft cola is generally made by brewing a blend of whole spices with organic fruits and sugar. Most craft cola makers focus on quality and freshness of ingredients and avoid using anything artificial.

What are the core ingredients in craft cola?

A large blend of whole spices, organic fruits (generally citrus fruits), sugar (some use a blend of sugar types or even honey depending on intended flavor profile).Wander Cat Cola features 10 whole spices, organic oranges, lemons, yuzu, and cane sugar. We use organic cane sugar because we enjoy how it creates a light, crisp flavor that allows the spices to shine. Some brands use a darker sugar for a molasses or caramel flavor. All kinds are delicious and interesting!

How can I enjoy craft cola?

Craft cola is most often enjoyed mixed with club soda over ice. Usually in a 1:3 or 1:4 ratio, depending on how much ice is used. However, it's also delicious in milk (or milk alternative), mixed drinks, hot water, and more!

Where is Wander Cat Cola made?
