I made Open Cola years and years ago, and here's the thing that surprised me most: You won't drink it and say "Hey, this tastes just like Coke!" It tasted good, it had some of the same sorts of flavor things going on that Coke does (sweet/tangy, neroli finish), but you would never mistake it for another cola.
The basic set of oils costs around $75 (most of that the neroli, IIRC), the carbonation setup I was able to do for around $100 (most of that the pressure regulator).
- gravypod 10y agoApproximately, for your 75$ initial investment, how many cans of cola did you make? Also would you make it again?

The Coca-Cola company has a monopoly on coca leaf extract [1], so nothing tastes 'just like a Coke'. ;) [1] https://mises.org/blog/coca-cola-cronyism-and-war-drugs https://mises.org/blog/coca-cola-cronyism-and-war-drugs
