Coca-Cola Citra is a beverage made by The Coca-Cola Company. The design shows yellow and green stripes, and a pair of citrus fruits resembling a lemon and a lime. It is accompanied by Coca-Cola Light with Citra in Mexico and Japan, and Diet Coke with Citra in Labasa.
The drink itself entered the Coca-Cola company's portfolio when the brand was acquired during Coca-Cola's acquisition of the Parle groups soft drink portfolio, in India. Coca-Cola has re-introduced the drink into the Indian market since lemon-lime flavoured drinks are the most popular type in the market.[3]
