The ingredients aren't a secret - they are published by the people that certify stuff as kosher for example, or by equivalents of FDA in some countries.
Of course the proportions and mixing might be secret - but really it's coke's brand and ubiquity that is their 'secret'.

You can iterate until the results of the spectrometer from the original coke and your invented formula are close enough. Good luck with trying to sell and distribute at competing prices with The Coca Cola company (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Coca_Cola_Company#Lobbying http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Coca_Cola_Company#Lobbying)
