I like both! I do find that the fancy types of cola made using actual cola nuts, like Karma Cola or Fentiman's Curiosity Cola taste closer to cola flavoured sweets than to popular cola brands like Pepsi or Coke. It's weird that the most popular cola drinks in the world mostly don't actually contain cola nut and are flavoured mostly with like.... vanilla, lemon and cinnamon.
Karma Cola is my number one favourite cola drink. It's so good. Also the bottles and cans have a super cool design.
Coca Cola or similar I more often drink as a mixer with rum and lime juice or similar than just on their own. Fentiman's Curiosity Cola makes the best "cuba libre" cocktail (cola + dark rum + lime juice) in my personal opinion.
I'm a sucker for gummy cola bottle sweets (a pick n mix classic) or the cola flavouered Maoam strips.
