Cola Receipe

We've been working hard to refine our squozen cola recipe - a riff on a coca cola
recipe from 1886. After trying a bunch of different recipes and variations we
stumbled on the open cola recipe, and the cube cola recipe - both of which are
close to the Pemberton 1886 coca cola formula in flavour. We've used the basic
method, and tweaked the ingredients.
Flavour emulsion:
7.50 mL orange oil
7.00 mL lime oil
2.00 mL lemon oil
0.80 mL cassia oil
1.50 mL nutmeg oil
0.50 mL coriander oil
0.50 mL lavender oil
0.50 mL neroli oil
20g gum arabic
40 mL water
Method:
Measure out the oils into a small glass container.
In a high sides glass mixing jug, whisk together the gum arabic and the water.
While whisking the gum mixture at high speed, slowly dribble in the oils mixture.
Whisk at high speed for 15-20 minutes, or until oils and water emulsify.
No oils should be visible on the surface.
Cola Concentrate:
200 mL double strength caramel colouring
65 mL citric acid
100 mL water
22 mL vanilla extract
2 - 5 mL Kola extract depending on your caffeine tolerance
Flavour emulsion from above
Method:
Add the caramel colouring to a medium glass flask.
In another glass container stir the citric acid into the water and mix until clear.
Add the citric acid water to the caramel.
Mix in the Vanilla and the Kola extract.
Whisk in the flavour emulsion.
This is the cola concentrate, which will make 90L of cola.
The Cola Syrup:

800 mL water
1.4 kG sugar
27 - 32 mL cola concentrate depending on your taste
Method:
Dissolve the sugar in the water over low heat.
This will take a while, stir and be patient.
Continue stirring until the syrup is clear, remove from the heat and allow to cool
to room temp.
Stir in the cola concentrate.
This cola syrup will make 14L of cola.
Mixing the cola

The cola is a 7:1 mix.
1 part cola syrup to 7 parts carbonated water.
You can mix by the glass, or in a corny keg.

Making Squozen Cola Recipe

Welcome friends! Welcome to episode 2 of our DIY Cola series in the last episode we
made what is purported to be the 1886 Pemberton Coca Cola recipe written in his own
hand writing in his ledger.
I got a lot of feedback online about that recipe and most of it was from people
that didn't quite understand what was going on. A lot of people sort of expect that
the cocaine that's in coca-cola or was in coca-cola at that time was put in by some
guy, you know pour in a bag of white powdery purified cocaine. Which wasn't the
case they were using an extract of the coca leaf. But it wasn't pure cocaine it was
sort of a mix between the botanical bittering compounds and the alkaloids but not
pure cocaine.
So thank you everybody for pointing out that I didn't use cocaine I didn't use
cocaine because it's not in the recipe.
The second group of people were all about the Kola nut, and by that point in the
recipe Kola nut wasn't used in
coca-cola he just wanted straight caffeine didn't want the flavour, he only wanted
to hit the caffeine so he was using citrate of caffeine which is pure caffeine.
So now I've got that out of the way we're gonna move on and we're gonna start
playing with some of the things that we've found out when we made that recipe and
we're going to start honing it in and we're going to turn it into Squozen Cola

Syrup Base:
Water 1.18L
Sugar 1 Kg
Caramel 15 mL
FE Coca 1.3 mL
Vanilla 5 mL
Caffeine .75 mL
Lime Juice 75 mL
Citric Acid 15g
7X Flavor (use 15mL per 19L) 3.5 mL / 1L
236 mL (8 oz) Alcohol

20 drops (0.5g / 1 mL) Orange Oil
30 drops (0.75g / 1.5 mL) Lemon Oil
10 drops (0.25g / .5 mL) Nutmeg Oil
5 drops (0.125g / .25 mL) Corriander Oil
10 drops (0.25g / .5 mL) Neroli Oil
10 drops (0.25g / .5 mL) Cinnamon Oil
Method:
Mix together all of the ingredients of the 7X Flavour.
Set this aside in a sealed bottle.
Heat the water sugar and caramel in a large pot.
Stirring continuously, just until sugar is dissolved.
Take off the heat and mix in vanilla, caffeine, lime juice and citric acid.
Stir to fully combine.
Add a measured amount of 7X flavouring to the sugar syrup.
Mix with carbonated water at a ratio of one part syrup and 5 parts water.

1886 Pemberton Coca Cola Recipe Test

Ever wonder how to make the worlds favourite soda pop Coca Cola? Very few people
know the 'real' secret recipe... but there are versions out there hand written by
the inventor of Coke - John Pemberton. (Watch Part 2: https://youtu.be/utvx01Z6JzY)
Our diy Coca Cola recipe follows his 1886 version. Glen got the idea to do this
back in 2011 from an NPR radio show called 'This American Life', but getting the
ingredients for Coca Cola wasn't easy... and still isn't.
Obviously Coca loaf extract is the biggie in the room - but even Neroli Oil Extract
is hard to get; in that it’s so expensive!
So if you are going to set out and make Coca Cola at home, or any Cola recipe at
home; there will be some comprises. In the end, even with compromises, the flavour
profile of the Coke recipes is so complex that minor variations are hard to detect.
Merchandise 7x Flavour [Use 2 oz flavour (below) to 5 gals syrup (I used 15mL per
19L, or 1.3mL / 1L)]
236 mL (8 oz) high proof food grade alcohol
20 drops (0.5g / 1 mL) Orange Oil
30 drops (0.75g / 1.5 mL) Lemon Oil
10 drops (0.25g / .5 mL) Nutmeg Oil
5 drops (0.125g / .25 mL) Coriander Oil
10 drops (0.25g / .5 mL) Neroli Oil (You can sub Bitter Orange Oil)
10 drops (0.25g / .5 mL) Cinnamon (Cassia Or True Cinnamon) Oil
Original Sugar Syrup Recipe:

FE Coca (Fluid Extract of Coca) 3 drams USP (10.5 mL)
Citric Acid 3 oz (85g)
Caffeine 1 oz (30 mL)
Sugar 30 #
Water 2.5 gal
Lime Juice 2 pints (473 mL)
Vanilla 1 oz (30 mL)
Caramel 1.5 oz or more to colour
I made 1/8 Original and re-ordered the ingredients to order of use:

Water 1.18L
Sugar 1.7 Kg
Caramel 5.5 mL
FE Coca 1.3 mL (not used)
Vanilla 3.75 mL
Caffeine 3.75 mL
Lime Juice 59.12 mL
Citric Acid 10.6g
Method:
Mix together all of the ingredients of the 7X Flavour.
Set this aside in a sealed bottle.
Heat the water sugar and caramel in a large pot.
Stirring continuously, just until sugar is dissolved.
Take off the heat and mix in vanilla, caffeine, lime juice and citric acid.
Stir to fully combine.
Add a measured amount of 7X flavouring to the sugar syrup.
Mix with carbonated water at a ratio of one part syrup and 5 parts water.
