Cola Couronne (which means crown cola in French) is a very popular soda from Haiti. It is the oldest soft drink made in Haiti by a company called Brasserie de la Couronne S.A. Many people in Haiti and Haitians living in other countries love this drink. It's a big part of their culture.
Where is Cola Couronne Made and Sold?
In Haiti, you can find Cola Couronne in tall glass bottles or plastic bottles. This is because Haiti does not have enough aluminum to make soda cans.
However, if you are in the United States, you might find canned Cola Couronne. These cans are made in a U.S. factory in Miami, Florida, called Universal Beverages, LLC. So, cans are easy to find in places like South Florida. You can also find them in other parts of the U.S. and Canada, like Montreal, where many Haitians live.
Interestingly, in the Dominican Republic, Cola Couronne is made by the Coca-Cola company in Santo Domingo.
What's in Cola Couronne?
Each can of Cola Couronne has 120 calories. It also contains 31 grams of sugar. The amount of sodium in one can is 45 milligrams. This is the same amount of sodium found in a regular American Coca-Cola.
