Question

How is coke made? it is so good?

Answer 1

From Wikipedia:

Published accounts say it contains (or once contained) sugar crystals, caramel, caffeine, phosphoric acid, coca leaf and kola nut extract, lime extract, flavoring mixture, vanilla and glycerin. Merchandise 7X is the "secret ingredient" in Coca-Cola and has apparently remained a secret since its formulation in 1886. Alleged syrup recipes vary greatly, and Coca-Cola reluctantly admits the formula has changed over the decades. For example, the formula was changed in 1935 with the help of Rabbi Tobias Geffen of Atlanta to allow it to be certified kosher.

The basic “cola” taste from Coca-Cola and competing cola drinks comes mainly from vanilla and cinnamon; distinctive tastes among various brands are the result of trace flavorings such as orange, lime and lemon and spices such as nutmeg.

==============================

BTW - there was an article years ago that mentioned that Coke had more orange while Pepsi had more lime; thus Coke is sweeter.

Answer 2

With lots of natural and artificial flavours.  Including cola nuts, coca leaves with the cocaine removed, citrus and probably cinnamon.
