Cedevita Orange Instant Drink Mix, Croatian Original 340g (12oz)

Cedevita Orange Instant Drink Mix is the iconic Croatian vitamin-C effervescent powder in the 340g large-format tin — the orange-flavoured vitamin drink that has defined Croatian and Yugoslav diaspora summer refreshment since Pliva first produced it in Zagreb in the 1960s. Cedevita is Croatia's most iconic non-alcoholic beverage brand, originally developed by the Zagreb pharmaceutical company Pliva as a vitamin-C supplement in powder form; it became so beloved that it transcended its supplement origins to become the household drink that Croatians of every generation associate with childhood, hot days, and the kitchen pantry. The Cedevita ritual — a heaped spoon of orange powder stirred into a glass of cold water, watched fizzing and dissolving into a bright tangy drink — is as deeply embedded in Yugoslav-successor household memory as any food or beverage tradition in the region. Scoop 1 spoon per 200ml cold water, stir until dissolved, and drink immediately while the fizz is at its peak — add ice in summer for the quintessential Balkan cooling drink.
