What are the ingredients in Cinnamon Cola?
Cinnamon cola is regular cola with a cinnamon flavor added, so expect carbonated water, a sweetener, caramel color, acids, caffeine and flavorings. The best-known example, Coca-Cola Cinnamon, was a limited US holiday release in 2019. We could not open a full official ingredient list, so read the can for the exact recipe.

What is cinnamon cola made of?
Cinnamon cola is a cola with a cinnamon note added to the flavor blend. A normal cola label lists carbonated water, a sweetener (sugar or high fructose corn syrup in regular versions), caramel color, phosphoric acid, natural flavors and caffeine. A cinnamon version is described the same way, with cinnamon flavor on top. Brands usually keep the exact flavor blend secret, so the label only says natural flavors.
Is there real cinnamon in it?
Not necessarily. Coca-Cola Cinnamon was sold as a cinnamon-flavored soda, and we found no sign of cinnamon as a separate ingredient. Treat the cinnamon as a flavoring, not a spice you can see or taste as a bark. We could not open an official Coca-Cola ingredient page, so this is not a confirmed recipe.
Which cinnamon colas have been sold?
- Coca-Cola Cinnamon: a limited holiday release in the United States, sold from late September to the end of December 2019 or while supplies lasted, according to news reports. It is not a permanent product.
- Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Cinnamon: a limited Christmas release in the UK in 2018, according to trade news.
Because these are limited editions, shelves and formulas change. Check what your store has now.
How do you read the label?
- Look for sugar, high fructose corn syrup or a sweetener name such as aspartame or sucralose.
- Look for caffeine; most colas contain it unless labeled caffeine free.
- Check calories and total sugars per can, since flavored versions can differ from the regular drink.
How do you make a cinnamon cola at home?
A simple approach is to stir a small amount of cinnamon syrup into a regular cola. Start with a small amount of syrup and taste, because cinnamon gets strong quickly. Do not drop ground cinnamon straight into a fizzy drink; it clumps and foams up.
Is cinnamon cola healthier than cola?
No. A cinnamon flavor does not change the sugar or caffeine. If you want less sugar, choose a zero-sugar version if one exists, and treat the drink as an occasional sweet drink.
