Spezi, also known as Mezzo-Mix, is a popular beverage in Germany made by combining orange soda and cola. This unique drink is loved by Germans of all ages and is often served at parties and gatherings. The orange soda provides a fruity sweetness that is balanced out by the classic cola flavor, while the addition of lemon adds a refreshing tang. Spezi is a fun and simple drink to make at home and is perfect for hot summer days or as a special treat for any occasion.

1.	In a large pitcher, mix together the orange soda and cola.
2.	Squeeze the lemon wedges into the pitcher and stir well.

PROS

Spezi is a refreshing and unique beverage that is easy to make with just three ingredients.

It is a great way to switch up your soda routine and impress your friends with your knowledge of German culture.

CONS

As with any soda, Spezi is high in sugar and should be consumed in moderation to avoid negative health effects.

It is also important to note that excessive consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks has been linked to various health issues, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Unfortunately, there are no significant health benefits associated with drinking Spezi as it is a sweetened beverage.
However, homemade versions like this one may allow you to control the amount of sugar used, which can be beneficial for those trying to limit their sugar intake.
