Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photos: Getty Images I am a yucky girl who enjoys gross things. Left unsupervised, I would subsist solely on sour beer that verges on barf-y, ripe kombucha, and hearty spoonfuls of lemon curd. My taste is bad, but I know it is bad, which actually makes it very good. Thus, it was only a matter of time before I tried the “healthy Coke” recipe currently ravaging TikTok.
To her and her Pilates instructor’s credit, it does look a lot like Coke. . That said, I’m pretty sure if you mixed any dark liquid with a clear carbonated drink, it would also look a lot like Coca-Cola — 7 Up with some juice from a can of black beans, hot tar and a mango Bubly. Regardless, over just a few days, Jones’s TikTok has amassed 5.
Before making my own healthy Coke, I wanted a bit more guidance. Jones’s initial video didn’t provide exact measurements, and I didn’t want to completely ruin my esophagus with vinegar. One company that specializes in olive oil and imported balsamic vinegar has a similar recipe for balsamic soda that appears to predate the TikTok recipe. This company’s balsamic-soda recipe calls for one to two tablespoons of balsamic vinegar added to sparkling mineral water.
Does it taste “just like a Coke”? Absolutely not. The flavor of Coca-Cola is intentionally hard to pin down. It kind of tastes like the eponymous kola nut combined with citrus, cinnamon, and vanilla, but that’s about as helpful as saying “chocolate tastes like chocolate.” The flavor of this “healthy Coke” is, as mentioned above, extremely identifiable. Also, Coke and its ilk serve a variety of purposes: a quick caffeine hit, a reliable mixer for cocktails, a reason to live.
