Cola Couronne (French: crown cola), is the oldest manufactured soft drink from Haiti by Brasserie de la Couronne S.A. It is arguably the country's most well-liked soda, as it is a staple beverage for Haitians and those abroad.[1] In Haiti, Cola Couronne is always in tall glass bottle or plastic bottle as there is no aluminum in Haiti for it to be manufactured canned. Cola Couronne in the can is actually produced in their U.S. plant in Miami called Universal Beverages, LLC.[2] So cans are readily available in South Florida and other parts of the U.S. with a sizable population of Haitians.
Each can of Couronne has 120 calories and 31 grams of sugar. The sodium level checks in at 45 mg, equal to the American Coca-Cola, which touts its cola as "low sodium" right above the nutritional facts.[3]
