Sprite is Coca-Cola's lemon-lime soft drink sold in many countries.
The beverage is clear and caffeine-free, and its flavor profile is based on lemon and lime. Coca-Cola introduced Sprite in the United States in 1961, building the brand as a competitor in the growing lemon-lime soda market.
Sprite's name and packaging have changed over time, but its core identity has remained associated with citrus refreshment. The brand is marketed internationally, with local variations in sweetness, formulation, and package size.
Sprite should not be confused with Fresca, another Coca-Cola citrus beverage. Fresca is a grapefruit-flavored drink, while Sprite is specifically identified with lemon-lime flavor.
