Coca-Cola was the invention of Dr. John S. Pemberton of Atlanta, who had a particular interest creating his own medicines, often combining them with flavorful drinks. Faced with the introduction of prohibition in the state, and battling his own morphine addiction, he created a tonic containing coca leaf and kola nuts that would revitalize and stimulate without the need for alcohol. Pemberton released the first iteration of Coca-Cola in 1886 as a syrup to be mixed manually at soda fountains.
