Bakto Flavors Natural Cola Flavor Emulsion, 4 Ounces

Best cola flavor I have tried, but you need to add a little citric acid. I read this tip in another review, and it makes all the difference in the world. For a 12 oz drink I mix about a teaspoon of this cola emulsion, a pinch of citric acid. Not too much or it will be sour. Then add sparkling or seltzer water. I love it with a shot of my favorite black spiced rum for a zero carb treat.

Strong chemical taste, not eligible to return, do not waste your money

I have always loved colas. Coke, Pepsi, off brand…all of them. I have been searching for a true cola flavor that is sugar free and either sweetened with all natural sweeteners or that I could add my own to. I use stevia, xylitol and other all natural low calorie sweeteners in everything. I have tried so many “colas”that weren’t good. I almost gave up. I know many say they like Zevia - not yummy to me. I am beyond happy with this stuff! Even my husband tasted it and was surprised at how good it is. And, let me tell you…we’re not those people who eat sugar free chocolate cookies and say, “These taste JUST like Oreos!” when they absolutely do not! But this flavor is the real deal! I had him close his eyes and taste it because it’s basically clear and, y’know, sometimes our eyes deceive us. The actual liquid is an off-white milky color but when mixed with the carbonated water it’s clear. What, no dyes? Even better! There was a clear plastic tamper-evident seal around the lid that must be removed before opening. No seal under the lid.

I wanted to make my own diet cola after sodas stream diet cola became unavailable. I used a formula found on the internet and the resulting syrup tasted nothing like cola. It is of course nonrefundable. I bought some snowcone cola base and I'm having a glass or two a day. Just add some sucrose and citric acid.

Smells and tastes like some kind of chemical - maybe a disinfectant? Otherwise exactly as expected...

This is a decent flavor and I enjoyed using it to make soda. However, even if I discount the cost of acid and sweetener, it's only very slightly cheaper per liter than buying the ready to go branded Pepsi, Starry, and Mt Dew syrup from soda stream when its on sale. So while this was a fun experiment and probably a good option for candy makers and other uses, for soda I'll stick to the branded stuff.

The actual product isn't bad. If it would of arrived without half of it having leaked out. At least it was in a bag. Not the sellers fault so not holding it against them.

This cola flavor is on the money. We use this along with our SodaStream to make homemade cola. Of course you need to sweeten it and add a little citric acid to make it taste like the cola you buy in stores. My per-liter recipe is one teaspoon cola, one teaspoon liquid stevia, and a half teaspoon citric acid. Take your time carbonating, as citric acid will for sure create some extra fizz. Anyone expecting this alone, added to carbonated water, to taste like store bought cola, isn’t using their heads. It’s a flavor, not a syrup!
