Masala coke is an east-meets-west drink that combines the effervescence of the universally favorite coca-cola with Indian zesty spices, fragrant mint leaves, and fresh lime juice.

But you can make this delicious cooler at home in just 2 minutes. Let's get started!
Masala Coke Ingredients
All you need is 5 ingredients in addition to the ice to make this refreshing drink. Here's what you need:
- Coke: Use your preferred kind of cola in this recipe. I keep it low carb and use either coke zero or diet coke.
- Chaat masala: This unique spice blend provides zesty flavors to the drink. Look for it in an Indian grocery store or online. Alternatively, use an equal quantity of jaljeera powder instead.
- Black salt: I like to use this finely powdered salt since it provides an earthy-salty taste. If you cannot find it, substitute it with half the quantity of Himalayan pink salt.
- Lime and mint: For the best flavors, use fresh lime and bright green leaves of mint.
