Luckily, Italians have cracked the code to upgrading the soda — just add some lemon juice. The combination of Coke and lemon is nothing new in Italy, nor is it necessarily groundbreaking in other parts of Europe. Essentially, all you need to do is to squeeze a lemon wedge into an ice-filled glass before topping it with Coca-Cola, Coke Zero, or even Diet Coke. A frequently used ingredient, it's no wonder that Italians have even managed to work lemons into a beverage like Coca-Cola. Likewise, incorporating lemon could also just be another way for Italians to add another dimension of flavor to less vibrant soda as Coke recipes are known to vary across the globe.
