A document containing a recipe for a 'restorative wine elixir' made from Bolivian coca leaves, cola nuts, and wine has been discovered in the archives of the San Marco monastery in Florence. The recipe, dated to the end of the 19th century, is remarkably similar to the formula used by American pharmacist John Pemberton to create Coca-Cola decades later, except Pemberton replaced the wine with sparkling water.
