A High Street Brand Collision
A new design concept proposes one of the more direct brand fusions seen in the soft drinks aisle. The mockup combines two of the biggest names in the UK beverage market, Diet Coke and Costa Coffee, into a single product: Diet Coke Costa Iced Caramel Latte.
This isn’t a subtle flavour extension. It’s a full-on partnership presented in the classic 500ml bottle format, immediately recognisable in any chiller. The branding gives equal weight to both companies, with the ‘Costa’ name and signature burgundy colour sharing space with Diet Coke’s silver and red livery. The visual language suggests a co-branded effort, aiming to leverage the loyalty of two distinct customer bases.
From Simple Fruit to Complex Coffee
The choice of an Iced Caramel Latte profile marks a significant departure for the Diet Coke range. For years, its flavour innovations have been relatively conservative, focusing on simple fruit additions. A move into coffee, specifically a sweet, milky, barista-style coffee, would be a major strategic shift. It puts the drink in direct competition not just with other colas, but with the entire ‘ready-to-drink’ coffee and energy drink market.
The caption that accompanied the image asks, ‘Is this your new energy boost?’. This positions the drink squarely as a functional afternoon pick-me-up. It’s a direct appeal to the grab-and-go lunch crowd and anyone looking for a caffeine hit without opting for a standard energy drink or a hot coffee. The combination of established cola and popular coffee-shop order is clearly designed for mass appeal.
What the real range looks like
This concept enters a very stable UK lineup for the brand. The current core Diet Coke range is limited to the original Diet Coke, Diet Coke Cherry (in standard and 2l bottles), and Diet Coke No Caffeine. An Iced Caramel Latte flavour would represent the most complex and ambitious addition to that simple roster.
- Diet Coke
- Diet Coke Cherry
- Diet Coke Cherry 2l
- Diet Coke No Caffeine
