I've found water to be a rather poor sweetener.

Sucralose is another a widely used option. Cokecola uses aspartame, pepsicola uses sucralose. You can also easily buy it off the shelf

Sucralose however seems to be stimulating some insulin secretion even though it has no real caloric value.

Pepsi stopped using sucralose in favor of aspartame several years ago due to customer backlash.
