[drink] Coca-Cola Recipe


Sorry. Of course, Stuffs You Love cannot give you the 'exact' recipe, purely because if we can, Coca-Cola will run out of business and that's gonna be no more London Olympic 2012.

We, however, can be sure of the good old Pemberton recipe:
  • Ingredients:
    • 1 oz (28 g) caffeine citrate
    • 3 oz (85 g) citric acid
    • 1 US fl oz (30 ml) vanilla extract
    • 1 US qt (946 ml; 33 imp fl oz) lime juice
    • 2.5 oz (71 g) "flavoring"
    • 30 lb (14 kg) sugar
    • 4 US fl oz (118.3 ml) powder extract of cocaine
    • 2.5 US gal (9.5 l; 2.1 imp gal) water
    • caramel sufficient
  • "Mix caffeine acid and lime juice in 1 quart boiling water add vanilla and flavoring when cool."
  • Flavoring (Merchandise 7X):
    • 1 qrt alcohol
    • 80 oil orange
    • 40 oil cinnamon
    • 120 oil lemon
    • 20 oil coriander
    • 40 oil nutmeg
    • 40 oil neroli
  • "Let stand 24 hours."

But, here are the list of what's in it by Yahoo! UK Lifestyle:
  • Fluid extract of Coca 3 drams USP
  • Citric acid 3 oz
  • Caffeine 1oz
  • Sugar 30 (it is unclear from the markings what quantity is required)
  • Water 2.5 gal
  • Lime juice 2 pints 1 qrt
  • Vanilla 1oz
  • Caramel 1.5oz or more to colour
  • 7X flavour (use 2oz of flavour to 5 gals syrup):
  • Alcohol 8oz
  • Orange oil 20 drops
  • Lemon oil 30 drops
  • Nutmeg oil 10 drops
  • Coriander 5 drops
  • Neroli 10 drops
  • Cinnamon 10 drops 
Though said that, the current recipe is changing as Coca-Cola is under suspicion of causing cancer.
