A Carbonated Squash Crossover
A design for a Diet Coke flavoured with Vimto Fruit Squash combines two deeply entrenched UK drinks brands. On one side, you have the global dominance of Diet Coke, a mainstay of the sugar-free soft drinks market for decades. On the other, the specific, undiluted Britishness of Vimto, a cordial with a flavour profile all its own.
Vimto’s taste comes from a blend of grape, blackcurrant, and raspberry juices, fortified with a proprietary mix of herbs and spices. It’s the ‘squash’ format that’s most interesting here. The mockup specifies the ‘Fruit Squash Edition’, suggesting the flavour is based on the dilutable concentrate rather than the pre-mixed fizzy version of Vimto. This proposes a carbonated drink that tastes like a still one, a fairly unusual premise.
The Current Diet Coke Range
A Vimto edition would represent a major departure for the Diet Coke brand in the UK. The current lineup is extremely lean and focused. Aside from the original classic, Coca-Cola offers a caffeine-free version for those who want the taste without the stimulant, and a single fruit variant: Diet Coke Cherry.
That’s it. There are no other exotic fruits or complex flavour blends in the core range. The brand maintains a very tight, consistent identity. A multi-fruit, spiced cordial flavour like Vimto would dramatically expand that remit, introducing a level of complexity entirely new to the silver-canned stalwart. It’s a move more commonly associated with the Coke Zero Sugar or full-sugar Coca-Cola lines, which have seen far more flavour experimentation over the years.
What the real range looks like
The actual Diet Coke range available in UK shops is very conservative. It consists of the original Diet Coke, Diet Coke No Caffeine, and Diet Coke Cherry. A complex, multi-fruit cordial flavour like Vimto would be a completely new direction for the brand, which has stuck to a single, simple fruit variant for years.
