Inca Kola or the golden cola is a soft drink that was created in Peru in 1935 by British immigrant Joseph Robinson Lindley. The soda has a sweet, fruity flavor that somewhat resembles its main ingredient, lemon verbena. Americans compare its flavor to bubblegum or cream soda.
I have tried Inca Kola a few times during my time in Peru. Peruvians love this drink. It's like Peruvian national drink just like Pisco Sour. They say it's delicious and goes along so well with their Peruvian food. I consider this drink is a must-try when you travel to Peru.
Before leaving the country I had a chance to film about this Inca Kola drink a bit in Cusco, the area where the name is originally after. Cusco, the Inca capital of the Inca empire!
Not too much Inca Kola amigos, there's so much sugar!

I must admit I'm no friend of soda! I prefer natural juices, beers and wines. But, I follow the motto that says: "where you go, do what you see". Tasting this national drink must be fair and necessary to have my own opinion. Thank you for your recommendation! ;)
it's a bit sweet for me too but combine it with some spicy food then, it's good!

I lived in Peru for a while and my girlfriend is Peruvian, so it's funny to see this!!
They are owned by Coca-Cola now, unfortunately.
Certainly a unique drink. But yes, very very sugary
Good with Pollo a la brasa!!
Good to see someone around here who actually knows the drink. People love it a lot there. Maybe I have to be more open and try it with different food and yesss Pollo a la brasa!!
Personally I don't drink much soda, but sometimes the Airbnb hosts leave it and it ends up getting drank ha ha. I feel like when you are already eating some french fries and chicken it's somehow acceptable to indulge lol.
All things in moderation!
I hope you also got to try a pisco sour!! I think that's the real national drink ha ha
Cusco is a magical place, good to see this article about it. I lived in Pisac for two months, in the Cusco region, and also spent maybe 6 weeks in cusco itself, mostly around San Blas. I hope you got to see the Saksaywaman ruins, you can walk there from the San Blas plaza in about 20 minutes. Lots of people miss it because they don't find out about it, but it's right there! You can see a few temples there for free, or pay to see them all, I never paid but used to walk up there in the morning for exercise. The moon temple you can get to for free, and also can see the main ruins, but up close you have to pay.

Inca kola in the national drink of my country and thanks to tourists it is known the most in the world. Many say that its flavor is different and that cold is much more delicious. Thank you for promoting your experiences for my beautiful country.

We are blessed with a Peruvian restaurant in my city and I went there with a friend from South America. That was where I tasted Inca Cola and thought it was amazing.
