Description: Cola kissed by orange.
Flavor: A mild, natural orange flavor with the crisp bite of Coca Cola.
Mouth-feel: Refreshing. Almost cleansing and astringent.
Aroma: Hard to describe. Not cola. Not orange soda. Not even a mixing of the two. A unique citrus and herbal sparkling soda.
Notes: Mezzo Mix is a Coca-Cola product popular in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. As a European product, the product is pretty simple: real cane sugar, orange juice, cola flavors. I wasn't sure what to expect with this beverage and I was pleasantly surprised. The taste was striking. I drank it very cold, and it actually refreshed me with a clean, delightful melange. With orange juice being a primary component, the citrus flavor is in the foreground. The cola flavors remind me of old Coke in a bottle (pre-1990). In the end, it's a nice summer drink. It will probably make an excellent mixer for cocktails or ice cream, as well.
