Sugar hides acid try a coke without the sugar.
My guess would be to put about one table spoon of citric acid in a glass of carbonated water with no sugar.

The best way to reduce acid in tomato sauce is to put a wee bit of baking soda in it.
You have to be careful too much and it will be nasty and alkaline.
Try about 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon in a glass of tomato or V8 juice and see how sweet it gets.
It is amazing.
Lobster wouldn't be bad either.
