cola
Caffeinated soft drink
Cola is a carbonated soft drink flavored with kola nuts, citrus, vanilla, and spices—though the exact recipes of major brands remain proprietary secrets.
Coca-Cola and Pepsi dominate the category, making cola nearly synonymous with soda in some regions: Want a cola?
The word also refers to the kola nut itself, a caffeine-rich seed from African trees.
