Frescolita is a Venezuelan cola. It is very similar to red cream sodas in the United States, with a taste similar to gum. Frescolita is also used to bake in some places in Venezuela. It is marketed by The Coca-Cola Company. Its ingredients include carbonated water, sugar, sodium benzoate, citric acid, artificial color flavor.[1] Besides Venezuela, it is available in stores that specialize in Latin American groceries in the United States and Europe.

While Coca-Cola is consumed more, it has been reported that Frescolita takes more of the general soft-drinks market of the country.[2] Up to 45% of Coca-Cola's sales of soft drinks in Venezuela is in Hit, Frescolita and Chinotto.[3]
