'die Cola' and 'die Limo' are both sweet soft drinks, often carbonated. But 'die Cola' is a specific dark drink with a typical cola flavor and usually caffeine. 'die Limo' is the short form of 'Limonade' and usually means a sweet fruit-flavored soft drink, for example lemon or orange. The words can be confused because both drinks are consumed in similar situations and often appear together on menus. If you specifically mean cola, say 'Cola'. If you generally mean a sweet soda or lemonade, 'Limo' sounds more natural.
