Most Of Its Ingredients are Synthetic.
Although synthetic ingredients are not a deal-breaker for ethical vegans, calling Red Bull 'plant-based' would be a stretch, since so many of its ingredients were synthesized in a lab.
The main ingredients in Coca-Cola are carbonated water, sugar, food coloring (to get that signature brown look), phosphoric acid, and caffeine. None of these are derived from animals, so this means that Coke is vegan. Pepsi's ingredient list is very similar, with no animal products, so Pepsi is also vegan.
Some of the ingredients may not be as familiar as others. This is where the rumors start coming in. The good news is Monster is vegan.
What is it? Zevia Zero Calorie Energy Drinks are made with zero sugar and are full of plant-based ingredients. Their key selling points are that the drinks have zero calories, contain organic caffeine, and are completely vegan.
Bottled water is not strictly vegan since it is filtered through a process that uses animal byproducts or other animal-derived ingredients. This is why it's essential to research the filter and distillation process used when buying bottled water to ensure it does not contain animal products or derivatives.
What can I drink on a plant-based diet? There are a lot of drinks you can enjoy when following a vegan diet. Besides water, black coffee, and tea, you can have different types of plant-based milk, fruits and vegetable juices, smoothies, and healthy fizzy drinks like FUL® sparkling spirulina beverages.

#WhatTheFanta (and other international flavours) do contain some of the food dyes which may have been tested on animals at some point for their general consumption. However, Fanta is generally considered vegan-friendly.
Beer, wine and cider can be non-vegan due to the products used in the filtration process, such as isinglass, gelatine and casein. Additionally, some non-vegan flavourings such as honey may be added, and some cocktails rely on milk and eggs.
Monster Energy + Juice Aussie Style Lemonade. This product has 9 ingredients that may not be vegan.
Of course, sours (with their use of egg whites), white Russians and Irish coffees (with the shaken and whipped cream, respectively) are the most obvious cocktails vegans can't traditionally drink. But Bloody Marys are typically non-vegan too, and so are any drinks with honey.

Soda. Hot coffee (without milk or cream) Iced coffee (without milk or cream) Orange juice.
Sorry to be the ones to break it to you, but no, Nutella is not vegan. This is because it contains skimmed milk powder which is an animal-derived ingredient, so is therefore not made solely from plants.
