Nordic Mist (stylised as Nørdic Mist) is a line of soft drink mixers produced by The Coca-Cola Company and sold in Chile, Guinea-Bissau, Luxembourg, Belgium, Portugal, Israel and Spain.[1]

History

[edit]

Nørdic Mist was introduced to New York City, Boston, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia in September 1992. It was the result of a team working under Mary Minnick to develop beverages to compete in the growing low-carbohydrate, healthier soft drink market.[2] Nørdic Mist was created more specifically to compete with Clearly Canadian, a brand of sparkling water quickly growing in popularity at the time.[3] At its debut it was available in five flavors - black cherry, raspberry, peach, pineapple, and kiwi-pineapple-guava.[4] Chile saw the arrival of Nørdic Mist in 1997, distributed there by Embotelladora Andina.[5][6]

Nørdic Mist was introduced to Spain in 2000. In less than three years Coca-Cola enjoyed a 17% share of the tonic water market.[7]

Trivia

[edit]

Nørdic Mist has achieved almost cult status as the best mixer for gin & tonic with various Facebook pages [8] and blogs [9] requesting its export to other countries where it is not currently available.
