More than 60 years ago in Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany the brewery Riegele created one of the most popular cola mix drinks: SPEZI, a mix of cola and orange lemonade.
The brewery Riegele was one of the first German breweries who produced also non alcoholic beverages. Providing the inns with beer and refreshing lemonades, they observed that the innkeepers mixed cola and orange lemonade. For the innkeeper this was time-consuming, took up a lot of space for empty bottles, and there were often lemonade and coke leftovers, not tasty anymore. So the brewery came up with the idea of offering a ready-mixed drink. Original SPEZI Cola-Orange was born.
