On May 8, 1886, Dr. John Pemberton (above) brought his
perfected syrup to Jacobs’ Pharmacy in downtown Atlanta
where the first glass of Coca‑Cola was poured.
Initially, the drink was marketed as a medicinal tonic called
“French Wine Coca.”
Serving about nine drinks per day in its first year, Coca‑Cola
was an exciting new drink in the beginning.
