A nice idea for the Holland – Argentina match today; an orange cocktail with Colombiana kola. Colombiana kola is a sparkling drink from South America with a unique flavor. It is alcohol-free and has less calories and sugar than other kola brands. It exist since 1904, but recently sold in the Benelux as well by PaisaNL. PaisaNL has a social dimension by working together with local entrepreneurs and investing in local projects. The thing we like most about Colombiana kola is that it works really well in orange cocktails, what makes it perfect for the World Cup.

Russian soccer fans, who were in Brazil for the World Cup, were treated to a six-pack of ‘Skol’ beer entirely encased in ice.
