Attention Do-It-Yourself-ers!

The top secret recipe of Coca-Cola has been discovered and made public! It was found in a photo published in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution by a radio host. Read this article for details.


To save you link-clicking, here's the recipe. Its text also draws back the mystery of why Coke has referred the formula that supposedly gives the soda its unique flavor as "7X-100".

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

If you decide to brew a batch, let me know how it turns out!
