In Portugal, we have a few drinks like:

SumolA fruity carbonated drink, more popular in the summer
CompalCloser 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!

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

BrisaFruity 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...

Now I'll have to try Rum-Sumol! XD

I was surprised to learn that um bongo is Portuguese.

Is it sold outside of Portugal? I never met any foreigner who knew about it

You also have Brisa (passion fruit soda, similar to Lima) and Laranjada (orange soda) from Madeira

Ah yes, how could I forget, I love brisa. Laranjada isn't really my cup of tea, still worth mentioning though
