Two years is all it took for Coca-Cola to banish this new hybrid of cola and black coffee to the land of the Dead Foods in 2008. It may have been the steep price that scared customers away, since they were now getting a smaller size 8 ounces Coca-Cola beverage for $1.79. Others claim it was the unusual flavor, although I actually thought it tasted pretty good - like a combination of Coca-Cola, cream soda, and coffee. Hey now, that sounds like a pretty good place to start with our clone recipe. Simply dissolve some NutraSweet that's what Coca-Cola uses in cold espresso, add it to the sodas, and you'll get 24 ounces 3 servings of a remarkable clone at a total cost of just 90 cents. that's more like it! Another Dead Food resurrected.
 

2 tablespoons cold espresso (or strong coffee)
1/4 teaspoon NutraSweet (1 packet)
one 12-ounce can Coca-Cola
one 12-ounce can A & W Cream Soda

1. Dissolve the NutraSweet in the espresso.

2. Combine the espresso, Coca-Cola, and cream soda and serve 1 cup (8 ounces) over ice. 

Makes 3 servings.

Tidbits
: My math above is based on the price of cans of cola and cream soda when purchased in 12-packs.

I loved Coca-Cola Blak. Wasn't happy when it was discontinued. You're recipe is close, but didn't seem strong enough to me. I altered it a bit by using 6 tablespoons of strong instant coffee & 2 packs of Splenda. It now tastes perfect to me.

Made a sugar-free version. Excellente! 12 oz diet coke w/Splenda, 12 oz. sugar-free cream soda (I used Waist Watchers w/Splenda), and sweeten the 2 tbs. coffee with one pack (1 tsp.) of-you guessed it-Splenda.
