How do I remove this stain?

What's my best shot at removing a set-in orange soda stain from an off-white wool coat? I tried a spray-on stain remover with little success.

Take it to a good cleaners. They should be able to remove it without damaging the coat. Be sure to tell them what you used to try to remove the stain already.

Seconding dry cleaners. I often get various sauce stains on my suits/coats and the cleaner always removes them successfully.

Thirding the cleaners. They do this for a living, after all.
