On July 7th, I wrote a post after trying one of three new flavours recently introduced by Pepsi. I noted that the raspberry ripple flavour was nice and was better than two other special Pepsi flavours from early 2025.
I have now found, and tried, the second summer special.
Yep, it's salted caramel.
As I pointed out in the post from earlier this month, the logo appears on the image of an ice cream inside a cone in these new flavours. Brilliant.
I thought the drink itself was top notch and refreshing (drinking in the heat may have been a factor!). In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's better than raspberry ripple.
With that said, it's very sweet (even though it's sugar free). I could see many disagree with me on this one. I wouldn't blame them for doing so.
When I first took a sip, I was reminded of the Pepsi from last Christmas. I suppose that was because you shouldn't really see Pepsi and gingerbread, and - in this case: salted caramel - figuratively mashed together.
But, here we are. Salted caramel Pepsi is something that wouldn't be foreign as a Christmas flavour.
I recommend giving it a go.
Next up will hopefully be the elusive cherry and vanilla Pepsi. Stock had run out at my local Tesco, so I was unable to purchase it when I was hunting for the remaining two flavours.
Once I find it, I'll write about it.
I suspect I might have left the best for last considering Cherry Coke is my GOAT cola. Plus, I enjoyed Coke Cherry Float earlier this year. It wouldn't surprise me if I have a similar opinion about Pepsi's rendition.
