ABOUT US
It is said that Haitians are sunny and gleeful people who take perseverance and determination to new levels. We can’t help but agree when we have something such as Cola Couronne setting an example in this sense. This Haitian-made beverage is the oldest soft drink in Haiti manufactured by Brasserie de la Couronne S.A. The brand is 98 years old now, and it has only become more popular with each passing year.
Long-Standing Heritage and Tradition
The first bottle of Cola Couronne was produced in 1924. It instantly became the most popular soda—the only one—in Haiti. Nowadays, visiting Haiti without enjoying a bottle of Cola Couronne is like visiting Italy and not having a slice of Neapolitan pizza. It’s a traditional drink to be enjoyed at your leisure, preferably when it gets hot outside. Since Haiti is a tropical paradise, it gets hot all the time.
Originally, Cola Couronne was made in glass or plastic bottles because there was not enough aluminum in Haiti to make cans. Now, Cola Couronne is also produced in the U.S., in Miami, at a place called Universal Beverages LLC. Now, 201 shops sell Cola Couronne in Florida alone! So you can enjoy a taste of Haitian history in South Florida, across other parts of the U.S., and even Canada.
The fact that it has survived over 98 years of Haitian history is telling as it is, but the locals absolutely adore Cola Couronne. Tourists tasting it for the first time also love the tropical aroma and the bubbly flavor. A can of Cola Couronne has 120 calories, 31mg of sodium, and 31 grams of sugar.
Tropical Fruit Champagne Perfect for a Vacation
Cola Couronne is classified as tropical fruit champagne due to its fruity flavor and tropical origins. The tropical, bubbly taste is quite beloved among Americans, especially Haitian Americans who are very proud of their national soda. Even now, in 2022, Cola Couronne is the only Haitian soda in existence. These days, you can find it everywhere in Florida, and you can even buy it on Amazon.
If you’re heading to Haiti for a vacation, you shouldn’t miss this bubbly beverage. You can enjoy it in a glass bottle or a can, depending on which you prefer. We recommend the original glass bottle to stay true to the tradition, but the drink is still the same, no matter the recipient. Chances are you’ll come to love it and tell all your friends about it, and the word will spread about the best Haitian soda on the market.
The number-one Haitian soda on the market has received endless praise throughout the years. It’s also a reminder that Haiti never gives up, no matter the obstacles in its path, and its people are always constant and hopeful! Remember, with every bottle of Cola Couronne you buy, Haiti’s economy receives a small boost, and we all know it needs one.
