Pakola is a line of flavoured soft drinks, originally introduced in Pakistan in 1950 by Haji Ali Muhammad. It is produced by Mehran Bottlers (Pvt) Ltd and Gul Bottlers (Pvt) Ltd . It is the first nationally branded soft drink of Pakistan. Hence its name Pakola meaning 'Cola of Pakistan.' The original green colour Pakola ice cream soda is still popular in Pakistan. However, other Pakola flavours, like Pakola Lychee, have gained popularity. It is exported abroad by Mehran Bottlers and is available in most Asian shops worldwide. From February 2012 it will be also available in the Netherlands and Europe.

The drink itself is a very bright green colour, much like the can, and tastes completely different from most soft drinks. It has a very distinctive and strong taste with a resemblance in taste to ice cream. Pakola has also launched a milk product. The Pakola brand name is owned by Teli Family and currently Mehran Bottlers are the bottlers of Pakola carbonated drinks in Karachi and export markets. A franchise is being given to Gul Bottlers for the rest of Pakistan. Mr Yasin Kassam Teli and Zeeshan Habib Teli are responsible for the milk and beverage sectors respectively. Recently Mehran Bottlers has also launched their juice range under brand name Jucina and Fruiter.

Pakola is also mentioned in a music video for Adil Omar's song "Paki Rambo".
