Thisamericanlife.org has published the formula for Coca Cola. They claim they got it after reading a 1979 newspaper article, which showed the ingredients and quantities used to make the drink.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has a photo of someone holding open a book showing a recipe which is an exact replica of John Pemberton's 1886 Coke formula. Here is the alleged formula:
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 flavor (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
