Spezi (German pronunciation:
When the brand was registered in 1956, Riegele at first sold beer under the trademark. Since the 1970s, Spezi has been produced and bottled by different local breweries under a franchising agreement.[2] The first Original Spezi Cola Orange TV commercial aired in 1989.[3]
Most large beverage manufacturers sell similar products, though mostly in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Examples are Schwip Schwap by PepsiCo or Mezzo Mix by the Coca-Cola Company though most grocery store chains sell generic brand versions of the drink as well, usually called "Cola-Mix".
Spezi contains water, glucose-fructose syrup, sugar, orange juice concentrate (2.3%), lemon juice from lemon juice concentrate (0.8%), carbon dioxide, caramel color, phosphoric acid and citric acid, natural flavoring, caffeine, citrus extract, locust bean gum (stabilizer). There are also different versions, including a sugar-free one.
