Why it's worth it

Spezi is the original cola-orange mix, first made by Brauhaus Riegele in Augsburg in 1965 and now a genericized German cult drink. The branded Spezi is not sold in Czech supermarkets (unlike Coca-Cola's Mezzo Mix), so the retro-labelled original is a genuinely German buy with a fun backstory.

Taste

Cola blended with orange soda; light and fruity with a distinct orange-lemon note, reasonably sweet, less syrupy than plain cola

If you know Czech shelves

No branded Czech analog; the cola-orange idea exists (e.g. Mezzo Mix) but Spezi itself is not on Czech shelves
