Collection: Cola
Celebrating 100+ years of cola soda!
Cola became popular worldwide after pharmacist John Pemberton invented Coca-Cola in 1886. His non-alcoholic recipe was inspired by the coca wine of pharmacist Angelo Mariani, created in 1863.
Cola is a sweetened, carbonated soft drink flavored with vanilla, cinnamon, citrus oils and other flavorings. Most contain caffeine, which was originally sourced from the kola nut, leading to the drink's name, though other sources are now also used.
In 1886, Dr. John Stith Pemberton made a historic visit to Jacobs' Pharmacy in Atlanta, to promote a new health tonic he'd concocted. The pharmacy loved it and began to offer it as a fountain drink. The new concoction was made using syrup and carbonated water and was originally marketed as a brain tonic and cure for nervous afflictions. It sold for a whopping five cents a glass.
