Aldi here in Benelux has the "River" brand. That is what we buy.

Agrum soda is big here (grapefruit flavor).

They have very good tasting zero sugar drinks:

  • Ice Tea (uncarbonated, this is our absolute staple)
  • Cola
  • Agrumes

Then they have sugar versions of

  • Tonic
  • Green Tea (Lipton green knockoff)
  • Bitter lemon
  • Cola
  • Lemon Lime
  • 4 lemons
  • agrumes
  • orange (fanta)

Quite the range, massively cheaper per liter than name brands, and small cans except for the ice tea to help not drink too much.
