Pepsi is planning to debut a brand-new flavor this month, marking its first “permanent” addition to the brand’s beverage portfolio in four years.

The drink, featuring a “burst of sweet cherry” and “creamy vanilla” flavors, will be available in both original and sugar-free varieties, according to the release. It’s set to replace Pepsi Mango, which was introduced in March 2021, Nexstar reported.

Pepsi is getting extra wild and extra sweet while jumping a new food flavor fad with its new permanent flavor, Pepsi Wild Cherry & Cream.
