Instead of just proposing replacements, what are some unique soft drinks from your country? This is chinotto, an Italian soda made with a citrus similar to bitter orange called chinotto

We have Irn Bru and it's made from girders.

It also has some of the most amazing Adverts
- Scotland also has Buckfast. It's not from there (it's from Devon I think) but only the Scottish will drink it.
- I just spent 20 minutes watching commercials. Thanks!
  
  Me too, but i still don't know what it is? Definitely involves caffeine.
Dandelion and Burdock, originating in the British Isles. Traditionally made from fermented dandelion, and burdock roots.

I think it tastes sort of similar to root beer.
In Portugal, we have a few drinks like:

Sumol

A fruity carbonated drink, more popular in the summer

Compal

Closer to natural juice

Kima (only available in the Azores)

Soft fruity taste and lightly carbonated. Very refreshing

If I'm not mistaken they're all produced in Portugal

Edit: I forgot a couple!

Bongo

Sugared up juice fruit marketed to young people, loved by all

Brisa

Fruity soda with a lighter taste than Sumol imo

Laranjada (available mostly in Madeira)

Only tried it once, hard to describe, but tastes like a lab made orange juice
- The Portuguese bakery in my neighborhood got me addicted to Sumol. Also pairs nicely with some dark rum...
- You also have Brisa (passion fruit soda, similar to Lima) and Laranjada (orange soda) from Madeira
