Nitro Pepsi is a nitrogen-infused cola beverage produced by PepsiCo. It is known for its smooth and creamy texture, which is achieved by infusing the drink with nitrogen gas. This process creates smaller bubbles compared to traditional carbon dioxide carbonation, resulting in a unique mouthfeel and a cascading foam effect when poured.

History[edit | edit source]

PepsiCo introduced Nitro Pepsi as part of its efforts to innovate within the soft drink market. The concept of nitrogen-infused beverages was inspired by the popularity of nitro cold brew coffee, which uses a similar infusion process to create a creamy texture and rich flavor profile.

Production Process[edit | edit source]

The production of Nitro Pepsi involves infusing the beverage with nitrogen gas. This is done during the packaging process, where the nitrogen is added to the can or bottle under pressure. The nitrogen creates a dense, creamy foam when the beverage is poured, enhancing the sensory experience.
