Go figure that more than one company would use some form of the Kola Nut in their brand name... It is also worth noting that Kola Coca is an alcoholic beverage

Technically correct, but not the prohibition most people think of, Atlanta passed prohibition in 1886, so Coca Cola was only alcoholic for a few years.

Coca-Coca leaf extract, same plant cocaine is extracted from.

My guess is it wasn't a complicated one to begin with, water, some molasses, kola and coca extract and there you go, sweet drink that cures aches and gives you energy.
