How much sugar is in a can of cherry cola?
For Cherry Coke, a 12 fl oz can is listed at about 42 g of sugar, 150 calories and 34 mg of caffeine. That is the figure for one brand. Store brands and other cherry colas use their own recipes, so the number can be different.
| Size | Sugar (Cherry Coke) |
|---|---|
| 12 fl oz can | about 42 g (listed) |
| 20 fl oz bottle | about 70 g (our calculation, same recipe) |
| 2 liter bottle | about 237 g in the whole bottle (our calculation: 3.5 g per fl oz x 67.6 fl oz) |
The calculation is simple: 42 g divided by 12 fl oz is 3.5 g per fl oz. It only holds if the bottle has the same recipe as the can.
Is the sugar in cherry cola added sugar?
In a regular cola the sweetness comes from added sweetener, not from fruit. The cherry taste comes from flavoring, so do not expect the nutrition of real cherries. The label will show the sweetener used in your country (often sugar or high fructose corn syrup in the US).
What about diet and zero sugar cherry cola?
Diet and zero sugar versions are sweetened with low or zero calorie sweeteners and usually show 0 g sugar on the label. We did not verify a specific product, so read the panel. Zero sugar does not mean the drink is the same as water: some contain caffeine and acid.
How to check the label
- Find the serving size first. A bottle can hold two or more servings.
- Read Total Sugars and Added Sugars, in grams.
- Compare per fl oz or per 100 ml, not per bottle.
- Check the ingredient list for the sweetener.
Healthier ways to enjoy the flavor
Mix a smaller splash of cherry cola with sparkling water and ice, or choose a smaller can. This is general guidance, not medical advice. If you manage diabetes or another condition, ask a doctor or dietitian how much sugary drink fits your plan.
