355 mL (12 FL OZ) Bottle.
Following the routine I've learned to do with beer, I started by smelling the beer. It smelled minty - like menthol. I'm leaning towards it smelling like menthol. I wondered if this is what Coca-Cola usually smells like, because I've never tried smelling Coca-Cola before. I also wondered which of the ingredients would contribute to this smell? At first I thought there were a lot of ingredients listed on the bottle, but eventually I realized that the ingredients were listed in both English and Spanish:
In any case, the bottle seemed flat in comparison to (U.S.) Coca-Cola from a can or plastic bottle. Perhaps I got a bad bottle.
With that being said, the sugar goes down more smoothly. However, I might be saying that just from knowing that the main difference between Mexican Coke and domestic Coke is the use of sugar versus high fructose corn syrup.
I've had bottles of Coca-Cola in the past, but I'm pretty sure they were made in the United States of America. Perhaps the closest beverage I've drank to a Mexican Coke is a Mexican Pepsi.*
Right below the ingredients, the label on the bottle says the following:
*I actually drank it while in Mexico. This, however, was many years ago; I was still a kid. I actually still have the bottle, having kept it as a souvenir.

I wrote the following: "Coca-Cola from Mexico. 355 mL. The real sugar goes down so easy! Yum."
I was later looking around and stumbled upon some half liter bottles of Mexican Coke! But since I already drank the above and had another stowed away, I wasn't prepared to buy a half liter bottle for $3.
