A Pepsi Pint pours a deep, glossy brown with a lively head of bubbles that rises and fades as it settles into the glass. Served straight from the draught line and ice-cold, Pepsi greets you with a brisk, tingling carbonation that refreshes the palate from the very first sip. It is a familiar, comforting drink, and on draught it tastes especially fresh and crisp.
The flavour of Pepsi is built around a smooth, rich caramel core, rounded out with soft notes of vanilla and a gentle warmth of spice. Compared with its zero sugar sibling, a Pepsi Pint feels a little softer and rounder in the mouth, giving the classic cola a satisfying fullness that makes it so moreish.
A bright citrus edge cuts through the sweetness, adding a zesty lift that keeps Pepsi lively and balanced. This interplay between sweet caramel, tangy acidity and sparkling fizz is what gives Pepsi its distinctive character, slightly sweeter and smoother than many other colas, and instantly recognisable.
The finish is clean and refreshing, with a lingering touch of caramel and a light sparkle on the tongue. A Pepsi Pint is a reliable, crowd-pleasing choice for drivers, younger guests or anyone looking for a thirst-quenching alcohol-free drink at Penventon Park Hotel.
Pepsi was created in 1893 by Caleb Bradham, a pharmacist in New Bern, North Carolina. He first served it at his pharmacy’s soda fountain under the name “Brad’s Drink”, a refreshing blend he hoped would aid digestion and boost energy. In 1898 he renamed it Pepsi-Cola, and the trademark was registered a few years later.
The early twentieth century brought both growth and hardship for Pepsi. The company expanded rapidly through bottling franchises, but soaring sugar prices after the First World War pushed it into bankruptcy in the 1920s. It was revived under new ownership and won huge popularity in the 1930s by selling a 12-ounce bottle for the same price as rivals’ smaller servings.
In the decades that followed, Pepsi grew into a global brand famed for bold marketing, from the “Pepsi Generation” campaigns of the 1960s to the celebrated “Pepsi Challenge” taste tests of the 1970s. Today Pepsi is enjoyed in more than 200 countries, and a Pepsi Pint on draught remains a classic fixture in British pubs, bars and hotels.
