Peach Pepsi its a Chinese thing,,,,

Peach Pepsi

As the foremost expert in all things #ColaQuest I always jump for a “new” flavor. Therefore when I saw Peach Pepsi me trying it was a foregone conclusion.

It was though quite the shock to see it in the small town of Weinan in Shaanxi, rather than the big guns like Shenzhen, Dandong and even Macao.

What the Peach Pepsi in China?

Peach Pepsi, a delightful blend of classic cola and juicy peach, first made waves in China in 2019. This innovative concoction was born from PepsiCo’s keen understanding of the Chinese market’s appetite for novel and exotic flavors. China, known for its adventurous palate, welcomed this new twist with open arms.

Initially introduced as a limited-edition product, Peach Pepsi quickly gained a dedicated following. The drink’s success can be attributed to its perfect balance of familiar cola taste with a refreshing peach twist, catering to both traditional soda lovers and those seeking something new. Its vibrant packaging, adorned with peach imagery, added to its appeal.

In many respects it shows just hoe great Pepsi is at integrating and making localize flavors – certainly more than coke.

Can you mix Peach Pepsi with liquor?

As we know the big question with anything Cola Quest is does it go with liquor? Well sadly it turns out that Weinan is not only no liquor place, but also no soju.

In fact the only liquors available were flavored Bai Jiu, so I had to give it a bit of a miss. But when drinking it I was hit by the fact that this would be perfect together with peach soju. In fact the two taste almost exactly the same.

Therefore my plan is to mix them together one day by necking a whole heap of Peach Soju and then chasing it down with Peach Pepsi. It truly is important to have ambition in life…..
