SHOPPERS are ecstatic at the return of a Coca-Cola flavour last seen 18 years ago.

Coca-Cola Lemon has returned for what is believed to be the first time since 2006 - and is available at all retailers nationwide.

It's available in both the Zero Sugar and the original variations.

Fans of the drink are going wild online at its return saying they "need" and "must have this".

One fan said: "My dreams have come true."

While another said: "I feel like this is screaming my name!"

A third said: "Finally a new drink that doesn't contain sweeteners or Stevia."

Other fans suggested it would be a good drink to have as a mixer with their alcohol.

One said: "To have with our vodka!"

Fans had been calling for the flavour to come back to the UK.

One said on X, formerly Twitter: "Lemon Coke is sorely missed in the UK. I don't understand why we don't get lemon Coke back in the UK - it's fab," said a third Coca-Cola fan."

Coke Lemon is available in several sizes.

Zero Sugar is available in 330ml, 500ml, 2L, 8x 330ml and 150ml singles.

While Original Taste is available in 330ml, 500ml, 1.75L and 8x 330ml.

Those looking to bag the drink in bulk can purchase cases of 24 330ml cans directly from Coca-Cola's UK website.

A multipack of Original Taste Coca-Cola Lemon costs £14.50 - working out at roughly 60p a can.

Multipacks of the Zero Sugar alternative can be purchased for £12.50 - which works out at roughly 52p a can.

The drink was discontinued in 2006 but remains available in various countries, including Spain, Portugal and France.

In 2007, the company launched Diet Coke Citrus Zest, which featured a combination of lemon and lime flavours.

But this was quietly discontinued in 2018, much to the dismay of loyal fans.

Meanwhile, Marks and Spencer shoppers have shared their excitement over "amazing" new sodas launched at the supermarket.

The soda cans are designed in a retro style which the posh retail giant said leaves fans in a nostalgic mood.

Tango and Vimto fans are also set to be able to try the four new flavours, according to posts online.
