I see Coke's recipe is a strictly guarded secret. Wiki reads, "The primary taste of Coca-Cola is thought to come from vanilla and cinnamon, with trace amounts of essential oils, and spices such as nutmeg."

I always detected what I think are traces of cherry in the flavor too.
Anyways I doubt that they use cocaine as an ingredient these days but they most likely did when it was first invented. Cocaine was easily obtainable back in the 1800's and I believe that you could even buy it in pharmacies. Like I've said before back in those days they didn't have laws to regulate what people could buy or what went into consumer products like they do now.
