COCA-COLA plans to launch a range of energy drinks as the company attempts to break away from traditional soft drinks and capture the attention of health-focused consumers.

But Aussies might miss out.

The company’s American division made the announcement yesterday, telling Reuters the drinks would be branded “Coca-Cola Energy” and “Coca-Cola Energy No Sugar”.

Both the new beverages would be made with naturally-derived caffeine, and guarana extract.

It’s been a big year for the beverage manufacturing company. In September Coca-Cola Australia snapped up South Australian kombucha tea maker Mojo for a multimillion-dollar sum.

Just days earlier, the American arm of the company revealed it was studying Cannabidiol - a key ingredient of marijuana - in response to an increased demand for “wellness beverages”.

“The space is evolving quickly,” Coca-Cola said at the time.

US Consumers have not been told when they can expect to see Coke’s latest concoction on supermarket shelves, but it does face a legal challenge.

Coca-Cola became the largest shareholder of Monster Beverage Corporation in 2015, and its latest venture could put it in direct competition with the popular energy drink maker, violating their agreement.

The two companies are currently in mediation.

News Corp contacted Coca-Cola Australia, where a spokesperson was quick to shut down any speculation that new beverages might reach our shores.

“As a total beverages company, Coca-Cola is constantly looking for ways to innovate and meet changing consumer demand which is why we regularly launch new beverages here and around the world.

“We do not have an announcement to make about a new beverage in Australia at this time.”

Just a few weeks ago, Aussie Coca-Cola fans were left disappointed at news they would not be able to get their hands on a new cinnamon flavour released across the UK.

The Sun reported the spice would be added to Coke’s Zero Sugar range, available in 500ml or 1.25 litre bottles.

But when news.com.au contacted Coca Cola-Australia to find out whether it would make its way down under, a spokesman broke some bad news.

“We are always responding to people’s changing tastes and preferences and we regularly introduce exciting new flavours in Australia such as Coca-Cola Orange No Sugar which is available now,” the spokesman told news.com.au.

“There are currently no plans to introduce this flavour here.”
