    I've recently discovered that I really like the taste of Coke Zero Sugar. I've always shied away from diet drinks in the past, but I enjoy the low cal sweetness. I tired Diet Pepsi the other day and enjoyed it as well.

    However, I am pretty sensitive to caffeine and if I drink it after noon or so, it tends to keep me up and I get the shakes if I get more than about 1 coffee and 2 sodas cans per day.

    So I'm looking for some suggestions for tasty low calorie "diet" sodas that are artificially sweetened as I'm particularly looking for the sweetness that are also caffeine free? Maybe something along the lines of Coke Zero in terms of flavor though I'd give fruity flavors a try as well.

    For whatever reason I don't seem to be particularly fond of Diet Coke, but it's possible it's a mindset thing as it's been around forever and the ingredient list looks an awful lot like Coke Zero. Call me weird...

    What's your favorites?

    Stevia Root Beer & Cream Soda..also a new fan of La Croix Apple Cranberry

    Sprite zero is my absolute favorite. Diet coke is a close second but I swear the sprite zero almost doesn't taste like a diet drink it's amazing. Also the ice drinks are really good as well, they are like flavored waters but are very good!

    Diet Dr Pepper has a caffeine free version that's really tasty, IMO. There are also a ton of Crystal Light mixes that are delicious and 0 cal.

    Where!?!

    I bought a Soda Stream and their 0 calorie drinks are pretty tasty. They do one that's similar to diet Fanta (I'm not sure if it's caffeine-free), and my current favourite is strawberry and watermelon. There's another which is similar to Mountain Dew, and it's not bad. The 'cola' drinks are pretty awful though. If I want Coke, I get the real thing.

    I tend to cycle between caffeine-free Diet Coke and the fruity seltzers. We also keep diet root beer and diet orange in the house, both of which are caffeine-free.

    Re: Vodka. Flavored vodkas like green apple or lime are surprising good in Diet Coke. Well, surprising to me. I’m new to mixed drinks.

    Water.

    Did you actually read my post?

    I did, twice

    You must not have, because the OP said:

    Water isn’t an artificially sweetened diet soda, so it isn’t a helpful answer.

    A lot of stores carry generic diet sodas in lots of flavours, lemonade (carbonated), orange, root beer, ginger ale, caffeine free cola, and more. It’s actually pretty easy to find caffeine free diet soda.

    I thought I was pretty clear in my OP what I was looking for. I wasn't asking for opinions on whether peopled liked diet soda or if I should just drink water instead. People are weird...

    I didn't think about a store brand. I remember when I was a kid one of my favorites was RC Cola. I haven't thought about that in years. Thanks for the inspiration. You've got me thinking bigger now and that's what I was looking for.

    I understand about Sprite. When I was a kid I absolutely loved it. Then I got quite sick with a stomach virus and my mom gave me Sprite to try and keep me hydrated until the virus passed. To this day the taste of it makes me feel just a bit queezy. It's a shame, but there you have it.
