If you have access to grain, I've had horses that wouldn't eat bran, but would eat grain, so I'd put grain in water, swirl it for a few seconds, then dump in the bran and they couldn't refuse. The water would transfer over the flavor of the grain and they didn't know the difference, not sure what your colt really loves, but covering the smell is important. The soda is a great idea, and I've known many horses who like beer and other beverages, that could be another thing used to cover smell.
