Cola is a carbonated soft drink flavored with vanilla, cinnamon, citrus oils and other flavorings. Cola became popular worldwide after the American pharmacist John Stith Pemberton invented Coca-Cola, a trademarked brand, in 1886, which was imitated by other manufacturers.

His non-alcoholic recipe was inspired by the coca wine of pharmacist Angelo Mariani, created in 1863.
