Original Spezi soft drink

Spezi is a classic German caffeinated soft drink made from a blend of cola and orange soda. The term 'Spezi' was originally a brand name registered by the Riegele brewery in Augsburg in 1956, and later developed into a genericized trademark in some regions, though the 'Original Spezi' trademark remains strictly defended.

The brand is historically significant in German beverage culture, representing a unique localized alternative to global soft drink giants. It is primarily produced in Germany under a franchise system managed by the Spezi Markengetränkeverband e. V. (Spezi Brand Beverage Association). This association grants licenses to various independent regional breweries across Germany and neighboring countries to produce the beverage using the original recipe and branding.
