Pepsi Cola concentrate 'Home Drink Bar Pepsi Cola' has been released, so I tried mixing it with carbonated water and CC Lemon. Review
Pepsi Cola's concentrated beverage ' Home Drink Bar Pepsi Cola ' was released on Tuesday, February 18, 2025. It is said that you can mix it with your favorite mixer such as carbonated water or milk to make a drink of your favorite strength, so I actually tried various recipes.
Japan's first! The original version of 'Pepsi' is now available: 'Home Drink Bar Pepsi Cola' | News Release List | Suntory Beverage & Food International
The appearance of the 'Home Drink Bar Pepsi Cola' is like this. It is written in large letters, 'Just mix! Concentrated type.'
The ingredients are sugar, caramel color, acidulant, flavoring, caffeine, sweeteners (acesulfame K, sucralose), and the content volume is 340 ml.
The calories are 148kcal per 100ml.
The recommended mix is 1:4 of Pepsi Cola and carbonated water. There are also recipes for mixing it with milk or CC Lemon, or pouring it over ice cream.
So I prepared carbonated water, CC Lemon, milk, and ice cream.
When I first tried the original liquid, it had a strong sweetness and a rich flavor like boiled down 'decarbonated cola'. I also felt the fruity flavor that is unique to Pepsi cola.
I mixed it with carbonated water in a 1:4 ratio, and it looked similar to regular Pepsi cola.
The taste was almost the same as regular Pepsi Cola.
I also mixed it with CC Lemon in a 1:4 ratio. The color is similar to Pepsi Cola.
Since sweet CC Lemon is added to the sweet concentrate, the result is sweeter than simply mixing Pepsi Cola with CC Lemon. It was a taste of a strong sweetness of cola with a hint of lemon added.
When mixed with milk, it looks like cafe au lait. Again, the ratio is 1:4.
When mixed with milk, it doesn't have any carbonation, so it doesn't taste like cola, and the sweetness is added to the milk. After having several editorial staff try it without revealing their identities, they received comments such as 'It's quite sweet, but I don't know what's mixed in,' and 'Does it taste like kinako?' This is a great combination when you want to drink a sweet milk-based drink.
I'll try pouring 'Home Drink Bar Pepsi Cola' over vanilla ice cream.
When mixed with milk, the taste of Pepsi Cola was almost completely lost, but when poured over vanilla ice cream, the original liquid entered the mouth undiluted, so you could taste the fruity taste of Pepsi Cola. It was not just sweet, but the ice cream had a hint of cola flavor.
The suggested retail price of 'Home Drink Bar Pepsi Cola' is 328 yen excluding tax, and a pack of 24 is sold on Amazon.co.jp for 6,001 yen including tax (about 250 yen per bottle).
