Coca-Cola Black Cherry Vanilla and Diet Coke Black Cherry Vanilla is a variety of Coca-Cola that was launched in January 2006 by The Coca-Cola Company in United States. The diet version is sweetened with a blend of aspartame and acesulfame potassium and is marketed as part of the Diet Coke family. Currently it is available in 20-ounce, 2-liter, and 12-pack can forms. The release of this product coincided with the phasing out of Vanilla Coke and its diet counterpart in North America and the rechristening of Cherry Coke as Coca-Cola Cherry.
Coke Zero Black Cherry Vanilla is the "Coca-Cola" version of Diet Coke Black Cherry Vanilla launched in 2006 in Canada.
Throughout the first 6 months of the product's sale, the percentage of drinks bought from Coca-Cola and its variants that was Black Cherry Vanilla Coke was 4%, compared to 9% for Coca-Cola with Lime and 3% for Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke compared to 7% for Diet Coke with Lime, 13% for the Caffeine free Colas, 13.5% for Coke Cherry and Diet Coke Cherry, and 26% for Diet Coke.
The drink is expected to be available for sale in the United Kingdom in late 2007. Like many of the Coke flavours, it will not be released in Australia.
With low sales figures, and the return of Vanilla Coke (now Coca-Cola Vanilla) by June 2007 in the United States, doubt is cast over the future of Coca-Cola Black Cherry Vanilla.
