Recreating John Pemberton's 1886 Coca-Cola Recipe

In 1886, John Pemberton decided to cure his morphine addiction by substituting cocaine for morphine. He developed a tonic that he could infuse the drug into and swallow in a few refreshing gulps. YouTubers Glenn and Friends Cooking whipped up a batch of Coca Cola, based on Pemberton's hand scrawled instructions (sans coca leaves of course).
