      It has a very acquired taste: liquorice, anis (main Ouzo ingredient), and some other herbs I’m not sure of. It’s sweet, but just the right amount. I like it, but there’s many people who dislike the taste. If you have the chance, try it :)

          As far as I know you can only get it in Slovakia and Czech Republic (maaaybe Poland, but not so sure about that one) Source: am from Slovakia, but living in Nordic country now. Edit: I should look for more polish shops…thanks for informing me that Kofola does indeed made it outside EU…I’m proud •́⁠ ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠,⁠•̀

            Looks like it can be ordered on Amazon in the US at least. $43 USD for 12 bottles ($0.21/fl Oz).

        To be honest you got my attention.

        By what you described i feel like adding a bit of gentian to it it would make a decent cocktail

          Nice! Do you like cheese? If so, try to find the fried cheese, it’s called “smažák” or “smažený syr” - it’s deep fried cheese with fries and mayo - sounds simple, but it’s the best unhealthy food you can eat!

            I like rather mild cheese like Gouda. That sounds great though, thank you very much - I will definitely try to find it :)

              Then my friend you’re in luck - cause it’s made from Gouda/mild cheese!

      Drake’s a pedophile or at the very least a creep who stalks teenagers, anyway.

      Though the Pooh variant of the meme is also alright.

        The Drake version is for things that pedophiles would like or dislike. It basically has the same meaning as a Jeffrey Epstein version of the meme, but without the transference of meaning of images. History has transferred the meaning for us.

        I wonder if pedophiles still use the Drake meme in the old way?

        Cocta is actually really good. It’s fundamentally like any other cola, but with mild herbal aftertaste which is really nice and refreshing. I need to try Kofola tho. I was in Czechia few years ago, if I knew I need to try it I’d look for it back then.

    Fritz cola is the only decent European cola I see sold in Estonia. It’s ridiculously expensive in that you can buy a two liter Coca Cola or Pepsi for the price of a 330ml Fritz. It’s OK if you’re alone and only want the one small bottle, but when you’ve gotta share, it’s about as much as a home-cooked family meal. For a literocola.

    Admittedly, the taste of Fritz Cola has way more nuance than Coca Cola. And I’m more of a Fanta man and yay, Jaffa is pretty much as good and just as cheap as American Fanta.

    One of the local grocery stores also has a decent store-brand Sprite alternative so that covers most of the bases, just would sometimes like to have a cheaper good European cola available.

    Back in the nineties I was on holiday in the city Mêlník Czech Republic, and I was drinking Citro Cola there and fondly remember the lemony cola.

    Coke with a splash of lemon tastes nothing like it, you get closer to the taste of Citro Cola by adding 40ml lemon juice to Coke but then it’s too acidic.

    Lately I was checking out Czech webshops and found they sold Citro Cola syrup but not anymore.

    Does anyone from the Czech Republic know if you still can get Citro Cola?
