Mexican Coca Cola is imported from the United States, but is made in Mexico. But what’s the difference between the original Coca Cola and the popular Mexican beverage in its iconic elongated glass bottle?

Mexican Coke has a loyal following both in the United States and across Europe. New York Magazine did a taste test between the standard American Coca Cola and it’s popular Mexican cousin. Trained taste testers said Mexican Coke has “a more complex flavour with an ineffable spicy and herbal note”. They also said it contained something “that darkly hinted at root beer or old-fashioned sarsaparilla candies”.

What is the secret to Mexican Coke?

It’s distinct flavour does differ from the standard recipe known the world over, but just what exactly makes the difference? It comes down to the different ways in which Coca Cola is sweetened. The sweetness in modern-day soft drinks comes from a very common ingredient called high fructose corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is made by breaking down carbohydrates in corn maize and adding special enzymes to encourage the starch to turn into sugars. After purification and filtering, this leaves the thick and sweet syrup known as high fructose corn syrup.

Mexican Coke is the only of the brand (in the world) that uses natural cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup! This popular recipe gives Mexican Coke it a unique taste that is enjoyed all across the world.
