Bitter Kas soft drink

Bitter Kas is a non-alcoholic soft drink that originated in Spain in 1966. It was created by the company El As, which was founded by the Knörr family. The drink is known for its distinctive bitter flavor, achieved through the use of 21 natural plant extracts, including cinnamon, sandalwood, nutmeg, and orange. The unique taste and reddish color made it a popular choice for aperitifs in Spain. In 1991, El As was acquired by PepsiCo, a multinational corporation headquartered in the United States. Since then, Bitter Kas has been produced under the PepsiCo brand, maintaining its popularity in Spain and other markets. The drink is typically consumed as an aperitif, often served with ice and garnished with an olive or a slice of orange. It is available in various packaging, including cans and glass bottles, and is sold in multiple countries, primarily in Spain but also produced in other locations.
