Guaraná Antarctica is a popular soft drink from Brazil. It gets its special taste from the guaraná fruit, which grows in the Amazon rainforest. This fizzy drink was first made in 1921 by a person named Pedro Baptista de Andrade. He created it for a company called Companhia Antarctica Paulista.
Today, Guaraná Antarctica is enjoyed in many places around the world. It is produced in four different countries: Portugal, Brazil, Argentina, and Japan.
In Brazil, you can also find a version with fewer calories. This one is called Guaraná Antarctica Zero.
The drink has a unique flavor. Many people describe it as mild and a little bit like apples. It also has a light berry taste that you notice after you take a sip.
