Your best source is the book "For God, Country and Coca-Cola: The Definitive History of the Great American Soft Drink and the Company that Makes It" by Mark Pendergrast.

The Coca-Cola formula is The Coca-Cola Company's secret recipe for Coca-Cola. As a publicity marketing strategy started by Robert W. Woodruff, the company presents the formula as a closely held trade secret only known to a few employees. In reality, experienced perfumers and food scientists―today aided by modern analytical methods―can easily identify the composition of food products.
The basic, generic “cola” taste of both Coca-Cola and other competing cola drinks results from a blend of vanilla and cinnamon flavoring. The small differences in taste that distinguish one cola-flavored drink from another result from the inclusion of small amounts of other flavoring ingredients.
Published accounts say it contains or once contained sugar crystals, caramel, caffeine, phosphoric acid, coca leaf and kola nut extract, lime extract, flavoring mixture, vanilla and glycerin. Merchandise 7X is the "secret ingredient" in Coca-Cola and has remained a secret since its invention in 1886. The description of the ingredient is kept in a security vault in a federal building in Atlanta, Georgia[citation needed]. Alleged syrup recipes vary greatly, and Coca-Cola reluctantly admits the formula has changed over the decades. The formula was changed in 1935 with the help of Rabbi Tobias Geffen of Atlanta to allow it to be certified kosher.
In an infamous corporate disaster, Coca-Cola introduced New Coke in 1985. After public outcry, the recipe was restored to the original "classic" formula. The current original "classic" formula was changed at an unknown point to replace cane sugar with corn sugar. The closest formula to the original that can be purchased is the 1935 kosher formula which is still produced[citation needed] though it may be difficult to find.
Most of the year corn syrup constitutes the main sweetener. However, since Ashkenazi Jews are not permitted to consume corn products (among other things) during the Passover holiday, prior to and during Passover, which falls in the spring, Coca Cola produces special Kosher-for-Passover runs that use cane sugar instead of corn syrup. These products are easily identified by their labeling as "Kosher for Passover". It is probably easiest to find these products in the area in and around New York City, or in other parts of the country with large Jewish populations. This should be easily verifiable by contacting the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of New York, or other bottlers for other regions.
Recipes for other soft drinks and products ― such as KFC chicken and McDonald's special sauce ― are also closely-guarded trade secrets, but the Coke formula is the oldest.
Amateur sleuths have tried to reverse-engineer the production process and ingredients. The secret formula is the subject of books, speculation and marketing lore. The company consistently claims that all published recipes are incorrect.
The Coca-Cola Company currently refuses to comment on the continued presence of coca leaf in Coca-Cola.[1][2] However, it is documented that the United States DEA oversees the importation of coca for Coca-Cola.
There is some debate as to whether the coca leaf extract cocaine is still present in Coca-Cola. Cocaine is naturally present in coca leaves. Some argue that today's Coca-Cola uses "spent", or treated, coca leaves, those that have been through a cocaine extraction process, to flavor the beverage. Others contend that this process cannot extract the cocaine alkaloids at a molecular level, and so the drink still contains trace amounts of the stimulant.[1]
