For me the secret is ice coldness. It matters way more for artificial soft drinks than for the sugar based versions, in my opinion. I definitely know what you mean by the aftertaste, and it's minimized by having more ice in the cup than drink.
Not that you should be attempting to drink more of the stuff... but I figure it's a form of harm reduction. Sugar is certainly worse for your health if you have this vice.
