In Portugal, we have a few drinks like:

SumolA fruity carbonated drink, more popular in the summer
CompalCloser to natural juice
Kima (only available in the Azores)Soft fruity taste and lightly carbonated. Very refreshing

If I'm not mistaken they're all produced in Portugal

Edit: I forgot a couple!

BongoSugared up juice fruit marketed to young people, loved by all

BrisaFruity soda with a lighter taste than Sumol imo

Laranjada (available mostly in Madeira)Only tried it once, hard to describe, but tastes like a lab made orange juice

I was surprised to learn that um bongo is Portuguese.

Is it sold outside of Portugal? I never met any foreigner who knew about it
