Inca Kola

Inca Kola, also known as Golden Kola in international advertising, is a soft drink invented in Peru in 1935 by British immigrant Joseph Robinson Lindley. Its main ingredient is lemon verbena. Both lemon verbena and lemongrass are known as hierbaluisa in Spanish, but they are not the same species. Americans describe its flavor as bubblegum and cream soda; it is also classified as a champagne cola. The Inca Kola trademark is owned by The Coca-Cola Company outside of Peru. In Peru, the Inca Kola trademark is owned by Corporación Inca Kola Perú S.A.. This company has been a joint venture between the Coca-Cola Company and the Lindley family since 1999s. Lindley family was the former sole owners of Corporación Inca Kola Perú S.A. and Corporación Lindley S.A. Inca Kola is sold in bottles and cans featuring Inca motif in parts of South America, North America and Europe.
