    The document summarizes the original recipe for Coca-Cola from a notebook written by John Pemberton. It contained extracts from coca leaves, caffeine, sugar, citrus juices, vanilla, caramel and secret flavoring ingredients like alcohol, oils, and spices. While Pemberton intended it to help overcome his morphine addiction, the original recipe also contained cocaine from the coca leaves until 1904 when the company removed cocaine from the leaves used.

    So what's the secret to making Coke?

    Well, here's what was written in the notebook: The recipe: F Fluid extract of Coca: 3 drams USPCitric acid: 3 ozCaffeine: 1 ozSugar: 30 C C ( (unclear quantity)Water: 2.5 galLime juice: 2 pints, 1 quartVanilla: 1 oz W L V Caramel: 1.5 oz or more for color T The secret 7X flavor (use 2 oz of flavor to 5 gals syrup):Alcohol: 8 ozOrange A o oil: 20 dropsLemon oil: 30 dropsNutmeg oil: 10 dropsCoriander: 5 dropsNeroli: L N C 1 10 dropsCinnamon: 10 drops Pemberton had reportedly hit upon the formula for Coke in an attempt to overcome the addiction to morphine he contracted after the Civil War, so it's perhaps not surprising that, in addition to alcohol, the drink originally contained Coca leaves laced with cocaine. After Atlanta passed a local prohibition ordinance in the 1890s, the company took the booze out of the formula, and the company has used cocaine-free coca leaves since 1904.
