}Explanation
Convert US cups of cola / soda to grams using a density reference of 1.04 g/mL. With the US cup fixed at 236.588 mL, that gives 246.05 grams per cup for this ingredient.
That is useful for mixer prep, dilution planning, and packaged-drink workflows where cola / soda volume and weight need to stay comparable. Cola / soda can still vary a little with sugar level or carbonation, so the converter keeps one reference value for consistency.

Methodology
Cola / soda density evidence
Cola is a carbonated soft drink flavored with caramelized sugars, citrus, and spice notes, valued for its sweetness, acidity, and effervescence.
Practical use: Cola is used as a carbonated mixer to add sweetness, acidity, and effervescence. It pairs well with a wide range of spirits and functions as a lengthener that softens alcohol heat while maintaining approachability. It is also used in cooking to add caramelized sweetness and acidity to glazes and sauces.
Composition and sensory context: Cola delivers a sweet, bubbly profile built on caramelized sugar, vanilla, and subtle spice notes with gentle acidity. Its effervescence provides lift and dilution, while sweetness softens strong alcohol and rounds out bold flavors.
Cola / soda uses 1.04 g/mL in this dataset, which is 4.0% heavier by volume than the 1 g/mL water reference. Evidence status: medium-confidence. Source basis: Carbonated cola density approximation.
Brand formulation, alcohol or sugar concentration, carbonation, and serving temperature can change the weight of a measured volume. Use this value as a documented reference rather than a producer specification.
