Santiba was a Coca-Cola soft-drink line sold in the United States from 1969 until it was discontinued.
Last updated August 26, 2026
Overview
Santiba was a line of soft drinks introduced by The Coca-Cola Company in the United States in 1969. Rather than representing a single flavor, the brand covered several carbonated and mixer-style beverages, including ginger ale, club soda, quinine water, and a citrus-flavored soda. Its assortment placed it in the broader soft-drink and carbonated-mixer category, alongside products intended for direct consumption as well as use in mixed drinks. The brand formed part of Coca-Cola's historical portfolio of secondary beverage labels. Available reference material identifies the United States as Santiba's market and does not indicate international operations, independent ownership, or a separate corporate structure. Santiba is no longer produced and is therefore a defunct product brand rather than an active Coca-Cola offering. The Santiba trademark was issued to Coca-Cola in 1969. Trademark protection subsequently expired in 1992, although the available reference material does not establish whether production ended before or after that expiration. No current website, active distribution, surviving flagship product, or public executive structure is identified for the brand. Its historical significance is primarily as an example of Coca-Cola's past experimentation with a broader range of soft drinks and carbonated beverage formats beyond its core cola franchise.
History
Santiba was created as a Coca-Cola product line for the United States and introduced in 1969. The line was notable for its breadth: instead of being limited to one signature soft drink, it included several types of carbonated beverages. The documented flavors and formats were ginger ale, club soda, quinine water, and a citrus soda. This assortment combined flavored soft drinks with soda-water and mixer-oriented products, giving Santiba a role across both refreshment and beverage-mixing occasions. The brand was owned by The Coca-Cola Company rather than operating as an independent beverage business. Available information does not identify a separate founder, headquarters, management team, dedicated website, or markets outside the United States. The surviving historical description presents Santiba as a line within Coca-Cola's wider portfolio of branded beverages. Coca-Cola received the Santiba trademark in 1969, the same year the line was introduced. Santiba was eventually discontinued and is no longer produced, but the source material does not provide an exact end-of-production date. The trademark expired in 1992. That expiration date should not be treated as a confirmed discontinuation date because the available references do not establish a direct relationship between the end of manufacturing and the end of trademark protection. No documented major advertising campaign, corporate controversy, lawsuit, acquisition, leadership transition, or product-recall episode is identified in the supplied reference material. Santiba is consequently best understood as a historical, defunct Coca-Cola soft-drink brand whose documented portfolio consisted of several carbonated beverage styles.
