I've been told that Mexican Coke can be found on Scamazon and in Mexican grocery stores.  Here's a recipe for OpenCola.  Just like Coke, it does
*not* contain any kola nut.

 Categories: Beverages
      Yield: 24 Liters
 
MMMMM---------------------FLAVOURING FORMULA--------------------------
     10 g  Food-grade gum arabic
  3 1/2 ml Orange oil
      3 ml Water
  2 3/4 ml Lime oil
  1 1/4 ml Cassia oil
      1 ml Lemon oil
      1 ml Nutmeg oil
    1/4 ml Coriander oil
    1/4 ml Neroli oil
    1/4 ml Lavender oil

MMMMM-----------------SYRUP CONCENTRATE FORMULA----------------------
  2 1/3 kg Sugar
  2 1/4 l  Water
     30 ml Caramel color
 17 1/2 ml Phosphoric acid (75%) or
           - citric acid (3-1/2 ts)
     10 ml Flavouring formula (2 ts)
  2 1/2 ml Caffeine (1/2 ts)
           - (optional)
 
  Flavoring Formula:
  
  Mix oils together in a cup. Add gum arabic, mix with a spoon. Add
  water and mix well. I used my trusty Braun mixer for this step,
  mixing for 4 to 5 minutes. You can also transfer to a blender for
  this step. Can be kept in a sealed glass jar in the fridge or at room
  temperature.
  
  Please note that this mixture will separate. The gum arabic is an
  essential to this part of this recipe, as you are mixing oil and
  water.
  
  Syrup Concentrate:
  
  In a 1 gallon container, take 10 ml (2 ts) of the flavoring formula,
  add the 75% phosphoric or citric acid. Add the water, then the sugar.
  While mixing, add the caffeine, if desired. Make sure the caffeine is
  completely dissolved. Then add the caramel color. Mix thoroughly.
  
  Cola:
  
  To finish drink, take 1 part syrup and add 5 parts carbonated water.
