The flavor of colas are usually kept a secret, with the Coca-Cola recipe stored in a closely guarded safe. The main ingredients in a cola's flavor comes from a mixture of citrus flavorings such as orange, lime and lemon and spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. The name comes from the kola nuts that were originally used in early soft drinks as the source of caffeine. Cola drinks may be sweetened with sugar, high fructose corn syrup, stevia or an artificial sweetener depending on product and market.
