Alcoholic Coca Cola?

They're going to try it in Japan.....

"Coca-Cola is planning to produce an alcoholic drink for the first time in the company's 125-year history - with an alcopop-style product in Japan.

It is keen to cash in on the country's growing taste for Chu-Hi - canned sparkling flavoured drinks given a kick with a local spirit called shochu.

Chu-Hi - an abbreviation for shochu highball - has been marketed as an alternative to beer, proving especially popular with female drinkers."

The airport terminal that was dedicated to service members had “Diet Coke and Bicardi” and “Diet Coke and Jack” in cans. Can’t say how good it was as the Marines prohibited us from indulging, and I don’t know if it was widely available in Germany, but it was something funny I saw there.
