The difference between Pepsi and Coke,according to my taste buds is Pepsi has a hint of caramel taste and Coke has a slight taste of lime. Both are delicious. I will be trying your recipe for both brands. Thank you.
I just started making sodas, your channel is amazing. I really love the editing too!
Thank you! Sodas are super fun. I try to mix it up with alcoholic drinks but people seem to really want a soda channel. I got the stuff to make cherry syrup next for cherry coke, cherry Vanilla Coke, and a cherry cream soda. Making cocktails is fun and all but making soda syrup makes me feel like a mad scientist in the lab.
Wow! That was very interesting! I’d love to try it!
Well I got a whole liter of it in the fridge.
👍🏻 Fascinating, thanks!
Please could you do Amaretto liqueur?
I think that the Pepsi Cola drink that we used to drink in the 1970s and 1980s tasted very different from what we drink today. It had a very refreshing taste, and it could change your mood and make you feel much better. One thing I remember is that the first thing you drink, you feel that there are strong and pleasant gases coming out of it. Your nose every time you take it. You do not feel all of that while you are drinking Pepsi today, which is full of chemicals and flavors. We missed that wonderful drink, Pepsi Cola, 70.80 AD. There is another wonderful drink that was widespread in the markets, but it was discontinued years ago, and I can no longer find any trace of it. It is a drink (teem) with a lemon taste. I hope I would like to see the recipe for that drink on your channel, which I subscribed to, and it is wonderful. Thank you
Thank you! I'm glad you like the channel. I think this stuff is super fun so it's nice that others enjoy it too. I personally feel it's the artificial sugars added to sodas that kind of ruin them. Also, a glass soda just hits better than a soda in a plastic bottle.
I made a video of homemade sprite/7up and it tastes amazing. Very crisp and refreshing. Even though it's just soda, I feel freshness makes a difference. I've never had Teem before but I'm curious how you think it compared to Sprite or 7up? Was it more lemon-y, lime-y, or about the same? here is the link to that video. Please let me know what you think.

One thing to be careful of is that Vintage American Cocktails uses "Acid Phosphate", whereas the original recipe uses "Phosphoric Acid S.G. 1.750", which is not the same thing. Acid Phosphate is heavily diluted and contains other ingredients. You should probably use Phosphoric Acid instead (as close to 90% as possible as that has a specific gravity value of around 1.746, which is close to the amount in the original recipe). I'm not sure if Vintage American Cocktails somehow adjusted the recipe to take the diluted nature of "Acid Phosphate" into account, or whether this is a genuine mistake in their recipe.
Good catch! You’re spot on And I did increase the amount of acid phosphate to account for that. I have 85% phosphoric acid but I don’t want to show people how to use that. I can’t expect someone to get a respirator and such and not hurt themselves and be like “oh I saw some guy in a TH-cam video use this industrial acid to make soda and then I burned myself.”
My main goal with this channel is to teach people step by step how to make these items so that if they want to make them they feel they can. If it’s something dangerous I try to show safer alternatives or I just don’t do it. That’s why I haven’t made an orgeat video yet. The amount of acid phosphate I added should put it on par acid wise with comparable sodas.
@@VintageAmericanCocktails thanks for the info!
The Americans are masters. 🇺🇸
COOL
Thank you! I think it’s pretty cool too.
Wow, who knew! My husband (a diabetic, stroke survivor among other health issues) consume Pepsis by the case. I guess it's become an addiction (like his smoking!) so I was looking for something natural I could make him to help keep him around longer (LOL) and came across your channel. One thing in the recipe that wasn't clear is the alcohol. What kind (and brand?) do you use? I'm a "mad scientist" by nature and my kitchen has become my "lab." So I'm REAL eager to try your formula on my husband who always lets me experiment on him (poor thing...LOL). Perhaps that (and definitely God) has kept him all these 68 years. Thank you for sharing the Pepsi history and recipe with all of us!
Of course! I’m glad you like it. The kind of alcohol I used is 95% everclear. Everclear does make a 75% that will work too but not as well as the 95% for dissolving the oils.
Your husband sounds like a lucky man to have a wife like you. Thank you again! I liked your comment so much I will work on making a healthier homemade cola recipe. I’ll try using honey as a sweetener and malt extract for color.
@@VintageAmericanCocktails how much honey and malt extract sir? I wanna try making this!
Wow this is such a cool channel, subbed! So glad I went down a looong rabbithole to get here (not really you were the first result on google for "Pepsi copy cat recipe" even though it's the original recipe). I took notes from the video, really cool to share, and the history. It seems so easy, I don't have any of those oils but if I ever get around to it one day I definitely will have a go. I wonder if you would dare to make a "diet" version using aspartame and/or ace-k. Haha.
So I'm curious Sir, as you are clearly a cocktail wizard at this point with drinks. I actually ended up here cause I am attempting to capture the essence of what I love about pepsi, and somehow take the base components or the feeling of it, and put it into a sweet iced tea using black tea, I noticed you said Coca Cola uses Coca leaf which has a green tea vibe, so surely tea cannot be that offensive. What do you think? Any ideas?
I love that idea! If I were you I would try making cola flavored bitters. Each drink has 2 drops of the cola essence in it so I would make a cola bitters by mixing 9 ml of the Pepsi cola flavor base with 3 oz of vodka. That would make for around 1 drop per dash. A dasher usually puts out around .5 ml of fluid per dash. 1 dash of cola bitters for the slight flavor and 2 dashes for the full cola flavor. I like your idea. I should make a cola bitters video lol. Mix that with some kind of black tea punch. I bet that would be fun and really good! Cachaca kind of has a green grass/reed flavor to it. Cachaca and cola bitters could make for some very fun ideas too.
Thank you! I’m glad you like the videos. I’ll make cola bitters in an upcoming video because of this. Thanks for the idea!
@eAmericanCocktails Thanks for the detailed, quantified and wise response! Seems I'd still need to make the Pepsi cola flavor base (well duh what did I expect?). So these bitters hold the key, the elixir, the drop of essence! Experimenting around the cola bitters will be interesting. Cachaça is a really cool idea too to mix with it!
I guess I'll share some of what my basic recipe is. I plan to try ratios with honey, cinnamon (might not need if using cola bitter now that you put it out there) sugar and aspartame (yes with the sugar together) just don't heat it up as aspartame gets rekt at high temps. (hopefully make it not as high in sugar). 12oz serving, 1 black tea bag, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 packet of aspartame. Then I guess play around with those values and the 1-2 dashes of cola bitter, something like this.
Thanks wiz! :), I'll ring that bell so TH-cam sends me a notification for it!
I really learned a lot from this! But I have one tip though, try to caramelize the sugar. Pepsi has a bit of caramel flavor into it too.
Thanks.
Thank you! I will. That caramel coloring stuff is awful.
Just found and subed your channel. I have been looking for pop recipes for several months now and your channel never popped up ha. Root beer, coke, cream soda, 7up and more. Not sure why it didn't but I have been looking hard on youtube. Just yesterday there it was. So happy I found you or youtube let me find you.
Is your cinnamon oil from the bark or leaves or does it matter? Do you have suppliers you recommend? I just cant thank you enough I am getting ready for a big oil order from mountain rose. I am a chemist lab tech in a R&D company so this is right up my ally Thanks again
Thank you! That makes me happy. I'm glad you like the channel. I really enjoy making old soda and cocktail recipes so it's nice others enjoy it too. My channel recently started getting a lot more views but for the last couple of years, I felt like I was making videos and sending them into the void.
It's from the leave and it doesn't really matter. To be fair, I'm sure you know more about these oils than I do. I failed and cheated my way through chemistry. I did very well in physics and math but I just couldn't rap my head around chemistry. As far as oils go, and suppliers here is an answer to that question I gave to someone on my website. I checked out Mountain Rose and they seem pretty good from what I could tell. Their website states the testing they do and while its not directly posted for each oil, I bet you could request them. Also, it's out of Oregon, and their neroli is 130 for 5ml. Here is my response to the supplier question. Hope this helps:
Ah, a very good and simple question with a not very clear or good answer. The problem is there is no one perfect supplier. There are many good essential oil suppliers but there are some crumby ones, and there are some cheap ones and some expensive ones. Fortunately, if an oil says it’s steam distilled or cold pressed and undiluted, then it probably is and I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Most oils are not too expensive so a bottle of cold-pressed lemon oil for 15-25 bucks is fine and most likely very high quality. Some though are very expensive. A 5-10 ml bottle of neroli or rose will never be less than 100 - 150 dollars. If you find a bottle of Neroli for less than that, it is for sure cut with other oils, but it will most likely say it is cut with other oils. In addition, there is no regulatory body overseeing essential oils. There are groups, such as the Essential Oil University, that will perform GCMS testing on oils and certify an oil’s level of purity, but submitting to groups like this is voluntary.
The 2 main things to look for when buying oils are: 1). Only use cold press or steam-distilled oils. 2). Only use 100% pure oils. Never use oils cut with other oils.
If you want to cover yourself find manufacturers that provide their GCMS test results. companies like Eden’s Garden and others do this, but those oils tend to come at a premium. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Lime or lemon oil for 15- 20 bucks is reasonable, but rose oil for 15-20 bucks? Impossible.
You can find these oils online and 10-30 ml of pure essential oil will last you a long, long time. 10ml of an oil can fully flavor almost 2000 drinks. That’s over 5 years if you make 1 soda a day. Just to put the cost into perspective.
By making your own syrups and sodas think of all the preservatives you are avoiding, but if this oil stuff is a bit much you can also make a homemade extract with the actual spices and peels. The essence recipes are 5% solutions but a standard extract will be 0.5%. just 10x each flavor for an extract replacing an essence. Instead of 0.5ml, use 5ml. just soak some nutmeg or lemon peels in vodka, add a teaspoon of each infusion, and call it a day.
I hope this helps. Again it’s not a simple question to answer.
@@VintageAmericanCocktails Thanks so much for such a great response. My wife already has a nice supple of food grade oils for lotions, soap, shampoo, deodorant and others just to avoid the poison from commercial products. We have dramatically decreased commercial food products of all kinds over the last several years and our health has completely turned around. I was missing soda pop so much that I decided to do something about it and I started with cream soda it turned out wonderful so I moved to root beer and 7up. Cola is next and I am very excited about it. I will let you know how it turns out. I am looking into a still to extract our own oils from our garden and local agriculture in our area I think that sounds like fun. Thanks again for sharing your videos and the info in your response. Looking forward to more recipe videos Thanks.
Thats wonderful! You know what's funny, is I never considered myself a "health" guy. I'm not particularly unhealthy anymore but for example, my breakfast of choice in my 20s was a slim Jim, coffee, and a cigarette. I would jokingly call it my breakfast of champions. I have since quit smoking and for the last few years, I was a stay-at-home dad because the cost of putting 2 kids in daycare was insane. To entertain myself I decided to become good at gardening and cooking. I used to kill every plant I touched and now I can bring them back from the dead. I cook almost everything we eat from scratch now and it's amazing how much better we all feel and how much better the food tastes. don't get me wrong, I still love Slim Jims, but homemade preservative-free food is so much better. I've always been into mixing cocktails but then I started trying my hand at sodas while looking through old 1800s pharmaceutic books for syrup recipes. Those old pharmacist from the 1800s had the best syrups and their methods of making them are wonderful.
So that's what I am hoping to do with this channel. I hope it helps spread that info and bring back some of the really old recipes inside those antique pharmaceutical manuals. It makes me feel like an archeologist finding old relics and learning their secrets lol. Have fun! and if you find anything cool let me know.
Hello! In Russia, in my city of Novosibirsk, this drink began to be bottled in 1981. I was 3 years old at the time. I want to cook it at my place too, but I ran into some difficulties. Namely, with Petit Grain oil, nutmeg, Neroli. Do you know how to replace them?
Neroli and petit grain serve the same purpose in cola by adding an orange floral flavor. If you can I would replace them with orange blossom water. Orange blossom water is the byproduct of manufacturing neroli and it has the same flavor as neroli just much weaker. I would try adding 15 to 20 ml orange blossom water directly into the syrup. And pure neroli is incredibly expensive.
For the nutmeg, if you can’t find nutmeg oil then I would try allspice. Allspice is also commonly called pimento spice. If you can find the spices but not the oils then I would make an extraction. Grind the spices up and soak them in the highest concentration of alcohol you can. 95% is best. And again try adding 15-20 ml directly to the syrup.
If you don’t add these oils to the cola flavor base but instead add them as I describe above directly to the syrup then reduce the amount of alcohol used in the cola flavoring from 8 to around 6 oz. 95% alcohol can dissolve oil up to 5% of its volume. So you want to make sure the flavoring stays around a 5% oil alcohol solution. Just to keep it consistent so the flavor base is not too diluted. Good luck making this recreate those fun childhood memories!
69th like!!!! Totally subbed. This is good knowledge. I want to make homemade Pepsi. Which recipe used an actual kola nut?
lol how did you know my favorite number? Keep in mind this is just their first recipe and not their current one but it still tastes pretty darn close.
Kola nut was never used in this or coca-cola. I don’t know if there are others colas that did use it but kola nut extract was used in the predecessor to coca-cola, French coca wine. Kola nut tastes awful but smells great. It smells just like a cola soda. If you think coke with coca leaf is crazy, French wine coca was on another level. It was loaded with caffeine, alcohol, coca leaf, cough suppressant, anti inflammatories, anti malaria meds, male “enhancement” plant extracts. I made it and funny enough it tasted great. Like really good mulled wine.
Here is the link to that.

@@VintageAmericanCocktails This is such an epic reply and it made my night 👀😮 Hahaha, it's a great number 😁
There is petitgrain oil from bitter orange trees and from lemon trees.
Which one did you use?
Bitter orange. Sorry I should have specified. I’ll make sure I add that in the description.
Nice!
Happy to be the first commentor
lol thanks! Just so you know I tried doing some steam distillations of pomegranate skins and they taste great without adding much red color. It will be a bit before I get a good final recipe though.
@@VintageAmericanCocktails nice! Good job, you working on a lore accurate quantum and nuka cola recipe?
Kindly tell us alternative of alcohol in recipe
simply magical watching your work . the alcohol is going over my head tho . you use 95 ethanol to make a sot drink ? how about a vanilla phosphate (sp) ? i used to have that with my dad when i was a kid and i remember they were really good .
Thank you! I’m glad you like the videos. A vanilla phosphate sounds great! That will be the next soda I make. Thank you for the idea.
who is the founder of soda?
So only 1.5ml of flavor base per liter?
Crazy right? You can make 160 liters of syrup with just 8 oz of that flavoring. They must make so much money. And it tastes like a normal drink you would buy at the store.
Hi
Based on @RazielAU point, I am keen to attempt to recreate this recipe but I wanna make sure this recipe is safe given the acid Raziel mentioned. I take it you took a sip of the homemade drink after you made it? If so, did you feel anything funny, like something was burning a hole in your stomach? Or did you feel just fine? Again, just wanna make sure the recipe that was presented in this video is indeed safe.
Thank you so much for your time and this is satisfying to watch 😁
lol I felt fine. I understand your concern though. If anything I could have added a little more acid phosphate. Citric acid has become the more popular acid to add to soft drinks these days but 100 years ago acid phosphate was in vogue. It’s still used in colas today but most others use citric. Honestly the truth I probably put too little acid phosphate and should have added a little extra to each drink but that would mean remaking the video. Here is a like to a drink book from 1908 with a recipe for an egg phosphate on page 59. He uses a whole teaspoon in each drink.
euvs-vintage-cocktail-books.cld.bz/1908-The-World-s-Drinks-and-How-to-Mix-Them-by-Hon-Wm-Boothby/59
The thing you should really be careful of is only getting oils that are steam distilled. I will make sure to include this warning in any soda videos going forward but some oils are extracted with solvents like acetone or others and those should not be consumed! The solvents are evaporated off but they still leave behind some dangerous compounds that don’t evaporate, that over time can be harmful if consumed. ONLY use oils that are manufactured by steam distillation.
If we use citric acid instead of acid phosphate. Do we have to use in equal proportion as the latter?
Also, most of the new sodas got caffeine in them. How can we add that?
Mr. Coates would be proud
I figure enough time has passed. All I remember was “mole-city”
Hi can u help me.... I wanna small company open... But I wanna without alcohal Pepsi and coca coca recipe
Remind
