Experience Refreshment with Sprite Chill Cherry Lime’s Unique Formula
Coca-Cola is continually evolving its product range, introducing healthier beverage options and innovative new flavors. The success of Sprite Chill Cherry Lime, which started as a limited-time offer, prompted the company to promote it as a staple choice. Kate Schaufelberger, the brand director for Sprite at The Coca-Cola Company, highlighted in an interview with Marketing Dive:
“[Chill] grew Sprite trademark household penetration, which is amazing in a mature category. It recruited consumers into the trademark, which is unbelievable and a standard we always want to achieve with innovation.”
The drink quickly became a favorite among fans, amassing an impressive $50 million in retail sales within just 21 weeks. It also earned the title of the top-selling innovation from the brand in North America for the year 2024. Jacques Blanchet, the Director of Integrated Marketing for Coca-Cola in Canada, commented during its initial rollout:
“Sprite understands that people’s lifestyles and tastes are ever-changing, and the introduction of Sprite Chill is just one way that the brand is innovating to keep pace with its consumers and deliver on a unique beverage experience.”
The enthusiastic response from fans during its trial phase led to an overwhelming demand for Sprite Chill Cherry Lime to become a permanent fixture, which Coca-Cola has now honored.
Availability, Pricing, and Flavor Overview of Sprite Chill Cherry Lime
Marketed as Sprite’s “coldest-est”product yet, Sprite Chill Cherry Lime combines a sweet cherry-lime flavor with the classic lemon-lime base of Sprite.

According to the brand:
“Sprite Chill is the first-ever sparkling soft drink to deliver a cooling sensation without an accompanying mint flavour.”
Sprite Chill Cherry Lime is available in both standard and zero-sugar options, offered in various sizes to suit different consumer needs. Options include a single 12 oz can, a 6-pack of 7.5 oz cans, a 12-pack of 12 oz cans, a 12 oz slim can, and a 20 oz bottle.
