Cola Couronne

Cola Couronne (French: crown cola), is the oldest manufactured soft drink from Haiti by Brasserie de la Couronne S.A. It is arguably the country's most well-liked soda, as it is a staple beverage for Haitians and those abroad.[1] In Haiti, Cola Couronne is always in tall glass bottles or plastic bottles as there is no aluminum in Haiti for it to be canned. However, Cola Couronne in the can is produced in the U.S. plant in Miami, called Universal Beverages, LLC.[2] As a result, cans are readily available in South Florida and other parts of the U.S. with a sizable population of Haitians. In the Dominican Republic Cola Couronne is produced by the Coca Cola company in Santo Domingo.
