Making a diet cola is just as easy as making a regular cola. I've created a low calorie syrup-base with the acids and other components combined. It is similar to the Zero Calorie Simple Syrup, except this one is closer to 1:1 and not the 2:1 sweetness of the zero calorie version. This one also incorporates some sugar, as it can give a quick hit of sweetness, but we can still keep the calorie content below 30 calories. The formula sheet is attached as a PDF below.

The cola emulsion can be the same one from the How to Make Cola video, or you can use any flavour profile with this syrup base.

And as usual, everything can be adjusted to your specific taste, my formulas are a starting point and never the final word. If you have questions, post them below.

How to Make Diet Cola

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/artofdrink DIY Cola Recipe https://youtu.be/o2yLvseG5UM Making a diet cola is relatively simple and it can save you a lot of money because this recipe works out to about five cents per serving. The formula replicates how diets colas are made by major producers like Coke and Pepsi. This formula can be adjusted to your own personal tastes, like caffeine or preservative free, using your preferred sweetener like allulose, sucralose, stevia or erythritol and you can adjust the flavour levels to suit your preference.

Is there a reason why you use more citric acid and no phosphoric acid in this recipe?

Darcy S. ONeil

It was just to demonstrate that you can switch out different acids to get different flavours, or for people who don't want to use phosphoric acid. You can use phosphoric if you want.

Can you use this recipe to make a diet Dr Pepper? Maybe in a future episode?

Darcy S. ONeil

You can just substitute the Zero Calorie Syrup formula I published for the simple syrup in the Dr Pepper formula. I made the Zero Calorie Syrup as a direct 1:1 replacement.

What is the best combination of zero/low-calorie sweeteners for a soda syrup that is considered natural and that has the closest sweetness to sugar? I was thinking of trying monk fruit and allulose, but am a novice at this. Thanks! Also, just wanted to say that your resources are super helpful.
