How to Use
Serve ice cold straight from the can or poured over ice in a tall glass; a slice of orange or lemon is traditional in Bavarian beer gardens. It pairs naturally with pretzels, bratwurst, schnitzel, and grilled food, and it works as a mixer in place of plain cola. Store unopened cans in a cool, dark place away from heat and sunlight, and refrigerate before serving. Once opened, drink the same day, since the carbonation and citrus fade quickly. Check the best-by date printed on the bottom of the can.

How should I serve and store Paulaner Spezi?
Serve it ice cold, straight from the can or over ice in a tall glass with a slice of orange. Store unopened cans in a cool, dark place away from heat and sunlight and chill before serving. Drink an opened can the same day, since the fizz and citrus fade, and check the best-by date on the can.
What is the difference between Spezi and a regular cola or orange soda?
Spezi is a distinct German category that blends cola with orange lemonade, so it tastes citrusy and lightly tart first, then finishes like a cola. It is made with real orange and lemon juice from concentrate and is less sweet than a typical orange soda. Paulaner Spezi is caffeinated like a cola and has kept the same recipe since 1974.
Is Paulaner Spezi imported from Europe?
Yes. Paulaner Spezi is produced under license by Paulaner in Munich, Germany, and this is the original 11.15 fl oz (330 mL) German can, not a US-made version. Real Prime Deals imports it and ships every order from our New Jersey warehouse, so US and Canadian customers receive the same drink sold in German supermarkets and beer gardens.
