I was driving and found myself craving some caffeinated soda. Since coca and Dr pepper are now off limits I just downed an espresso and got a (European) ice tea, but I'm wondering if there are actual alternatives

Irn-Bru, made by AG Barr. Scotland voted for Remain if memory serves.

I'm ok with UK stuff, they did some dumb stuff but nothing on the level of "elect Donald Trump twice" yet. Also Scotts get a free pass anyway because of our shared history of pissing off the ~~Brits~~ English (I'm french). That being said I have sadly never seen a can of irn bru in France

Scots are Brits, my Gaulish friend. It's the English whom you have a shared affinity for pissing off.

AG Barr also make Tizer, DnB, and a range of standard sodas (cola, lemonade, cream soda, etc.).

All your soft drink needs well catered for.

I love Rubicon.

Fun fact about that is that Rubicon along with defunct childhood favourite Panda Pops were originally made by Hall & Woodhouse Brewery (of Badger Beers fame), when they fancied a try at becoming a soft drinks company too. When they lost interest they wrapped up Panda Pops and sold on Rubicon.

Yeah, it was a big part of their leaving the UK campaign.
