Questions about Cola soft drink
How should you store cola after opening it?
Seal the bottle or can and keep it in the fridge; it will hold its fizz better when cold and tightly closed. For the best sparkle, drink it within a few days.
Can you use cola in a barbecue glaze?
Yes. Simmer it with tomato purée, vinegar and spices until syrupy, then brush it over ribs or pulled pork in the last few minutes of cooking. The sugar can burn if the glaze goes on too early.
Can you bake a cake with cola?
Cola works in chocolate cakes: use it for some of the liquid in the batter, where its sweetness and bubbles add a soft texture. Reduce the added sugar, and follow a recipe designed for cola rather than replacing all the liquid in a standard cake.
What goes well with cola?
A squeeze of lime cuts through its sweetness; it also pairs well with spicy food, burgers and salty snacks. For a simple mixed drink, combine it with lime and ice.
Does cola contain caffeine?
Many regular colas contain caffeine, but caffeine-free versions are also sold. The amount differs between products, so choose a caffeine-free one if you want to avoid it.
What is the difference between regular cola and light cola?
Regular cola is sweetened with sugar, while light cola is usually sweetened with non-sugar sweeteners and has much less energy: light cola has 0 kcal per 100 g, compared with 45 kcal in cola soft drink.
Can you use flat cola in cooking?
Yes. Flat cola can still flavour a sauce or marinade, even though it has lost its fizz. Simmer it to reduce the liquid, and taste before adding extra sugar because it is already sweet.
