8 Diet Coke Alternatives, Reviewed For Quality and Taste

Wild Bill's Diet Cola Soda Classic Craft Soda Pop (12 pack) ($27, originally $32)

Wild Bill's is, in my opinion, the closest-tasting beverage to Diet Coke on this list. While it's caffeine-free, it has notes of cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg that mimic the foundational notes of Diet Coke. The drink is also zero-sugar, low sodium (40 milligrams), and gluten-free, though it's made with natural flavor, caramel color, phosphoric acid, and sucralose. Since it's only lightly carbonated, it may be a good cocktail mixer for some, with the brand also offering sarsaparilla, grape, orange cream, vanilla cream, and strawberry cream flavors. Wild Bill's is a small, veteran-owned and operated business and creates flavor profiles meant to spark nostalgia.
