- Nailed It! DIY Squozen Cola Recipe
We've been working hard to refine our squozen cola recipe - a riff on a coca cola recipe from 1886. After trying a bunch of different recipes and variations we stumbled on the open cola recipe, and the cube cola recipe - both of which are close to the Pemberton 1886 coca cola formula in flavour. We've used the basic method, and tweaked the ingredients.
Flavour emulsion:
7.50 mL orange oil
7.00 mL lime oil
2.00 mL lemon oil
0.80 mL cassia oil
1.50 mL nutmeg oil
0.50 mL coriander oil
0.50 mL lavender oil
0.50 mL neroli oil
20g gum arabic
40 mL water
Method:
Measure out the oils into a small glass container.
In a high sides glass mixing jug, whisk together the gum arabic and the water.
While whisking the gum mixture at high speed, slowly dribble in the oils mixture.
Whisk at high speed for 15-20 minutes, or until oils and water emulsify.
No oils should be visible on the surface.
Cola Concentrate:
200 mL double strength caramel colouring
65 mL citric acid
100 mL water
22 mL vanilla extract
2 - 5 mL Kola extract depending on your caffeine tolerance
Flavour emulsion from above
Method:
Add the caramel colouring to a medium glass flask.
In another glass container stir the citric acid into the water and mix until clear.
Add the citric acid water to the caramel.
Mix in the Vanilla and the Kola extract.
Whisk in the flavour emulsion.
This is the cola concentrate, which will make 90L of cola.
The Cola Syrup:
800 mL water
1.4 kG sugar
27 - 32 mL cola concentrate depending on your taste
Method:
Dissolve the sugar in the water over low heat.
This will take a while, stir and be patient.
Continue stirring until the syrup is clear, remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temp.
Stir in the cola concentrate.
This cola syrup will make 14L of cola.
Mixing the cola
The cola is a 7:1 mix.
1 part cola syrup to 7 parts carbonated water.
You can mix by the glass, or in a corny keg.

Loved this video, please tackle the recipe for Surge soda! Coke has been teasing us with the recent limited return and it has now become very hard to find.
I'll look for it.
@@GlenAndFriendsCooking Glad you seen what I said. About lemon and nutmeg, I smell cinnamon though. About the fried chicken, the recipe is flour, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, cayeanne powder, salt, pepper and the chicken is dipped in butter milk and egg wash. Yes I looked at the chicken lol.
What's the cost with this DIY cola vs store bought cola (in general, ruff est.)
Out of curiosity if I were brazen enough to try this, could I replace the sugar with Stevia or some other sweetener? I know its generally said to use 1/4 stevia to the stated amount of sugar but would that possibly mess up the syrup or react with something else in the concentrate? I kind of loathe all the diet sodas and am tempted to just make my own.
Coke CEO's all gathered around a desk, sweating nervously as they watch the video
Not to worry, their snipers are already in position.
he forgot the cocaine
As well as Pepsi lol making sure he doesn’t mistakenly make theirs
I need a cola without the acids in it and yes I did call Coco Cola and asked them if they could make a cola without the Phosphoric acid and SHE said " we can't do that? They changed the formula years ago and screwed everything up and they can't do this for their customers? Corporate America Sucks. It just does!
the fact that hes still alive means he hasnt cracked it
Me: There's no way this is cost-effective.
Glen: 90 liters
Me: Nevermind.
I was puzzled to hear the word liter in English :D
I was legit blown away when he said 90 liters. Like... i make root beer at home. And im used to filling like... a pint/half-liter bottle with the syrup, or like, half that amount, before sugaring. And then quadrupling that syrup volume after dilution. So im looking at this pint of concentrate, thinking, "thats fairly expensive for a half gallon of cola..."
Meanwhile, its actually for almost 24 gallons. AND it keeps for a long ass time, unlike the RB syrup which keeps for like... 2 weeks, maybe.
@@grunzgrunzibert6223 when it comes to soda in the US we use liter but anything else is gallon lol
@@sheepdawwg why can't you agree on one unit of measurement?
@@longps9528 Ask our politicians, not us. Most of us want one standard system, including me. It would just make everything easy. But then again, our politicians here are useless
Glen, this series on colas has been fascinating to watch. Here's another wrinkle to nailing-THAT-cola-flavour that I think is often overlooked: flavour maturation. About 25 years ago some friends and I analyzed Coke (early/mid 1990s) with gas chromatography and found a number of compounds not covered by the raw ingredients and in quantities far greater than the essential oils could make up. Chief among them was isoamyl butyrate which led us to believe the syrup undergoes at least one (if not several) steps of fermentation. It would be interesting to test the pH and specific gravity of the syrup because I'm betting the conditions are perfect for a lactobacillus fermentation (and the bacteria may naturally occur in some of the ingredients, so possibly no need to introduce a culture). Many of the early soft drinks like root beer were yeast fermented (for both carbonation and flavour) so I don't think this process would be out of the question for Coca-Cola in it's early medicinal and soft drink forms. It would be interesting to compare a freshly mixed batch of the syrup to some that had been standing at room temperature for a few weeks (or even a few months) to see if auto-fermentation takes place. Keep up the great work!
Me: * staring at chicken *
Glen: "Don't look at that chicken!"
Me: * Looks around nervously * "Can you see me, Glen?"
What is "PFK" - ??? Alternate universe.
"Don't look at that chicken....and for godsake put on some pants"
PFK is KFC but in Québec Canada.

What i like about your videos is the aesthetics..good camera angle, no music, tidiness,etc. i don't even cook lol but i still click on your videos
Pecuman Yes! This is exactly it. A lot of cooking channels I watch to get recipe ideas, but this is the only one I like where I have no real intention of following along, and this nails why that is. Such a clean, soothing presentation. Like visual ASMR.
@RJ 😎
As always, thanks Glen. I will most likely never make my own pop but hearing that sweet Ontario accent explaining how to do it is like music to my ears.
im from north bay
Better than those Degens, from Quebec.
Love the show man
Glenn: How much product placement do you want?
The Colonel: YES.
This recipe is great. I tried it and I love it. Better than the original. I think it tastes like a mix of mezzo mix and coke with more depth in flavor.
However I had to improvise as I didn't have all the ingriedients.
I don't know the exact translation of double strengh caramel colouring so I used the in europe widely available E150c. My cola appears to be a bit darker than the cola in the end of the video.
The second mod is 105 ml of guarana kola tea instead of kola extract and water in step2. I used 15g of ground guarana and 10g of ground kola nut. I infused it with 100ml hot (but not boiling) water and let it sit while mixing the emulsion. Filtered it with a coffee filter and funnel after I completed the emulsion and flushed the filter with the missing amount of water in order to get to 105ml. A bit more work than in the recipe but worked for me.
I did some math and recalculated the sirup recipe to fit in a 1l bottle. The sugar sirup has a concentration of 64% by wheight. According to some online chart a 64% sugar sirup has a density of 1.3103g/l.
I just used 817g of sugar, 467ml water and 20ml of the flavoring concentrate. Fits perfectly in a 1l coke bottle. I was able to mix it directly in the bottle. First add all the water and approx. half of the sugar. Shake until the sugar is dissolved then add the rest of the sugar and continue shaking. Don't forget to use gloves as the water needs to be quite hot for this to work
Pepsi wants to know your location.
Lol
Pepsi is still livin the high life from ReviewBrah endorsement.
Hahaha
You want to make an original comment
@@rioeiokha9653 true.
the real question is how would it taste with a good rum ?
Awesome.
If you go easy on the coke
Shoot it would make cheap rum good.
The real question is; how would some rum taste with a bucket of fried chicken that I'm not looking at?
The good thing is that you can add the syrup straight to your rum and cut out the carbonated-water-middleman
You should be able to find cane sugar Pepsi bottled in Canada in classic glass Pepsi bottles at Sobey’s, usually 4 for $4.99 in a cardboard carrier. These Pepsis have a totally different taste to the canned or even the “Throwback” variety Pepsi sold in the past. The cane sugar one tastes like what I grew up drinking in the 60s and 70s with a pronounced vanilla tone. Hopefully you can find it before your taste test :-).
Totally enjoyed this series.
It's like double the price now 😢
You can actually emulsify the oils in water if you use a kitchen blender on high for 10 to 15 minutes. I am a bee keeper and essential oils are at times used in feeding and in sprays when combining hive to reduce defensiveness. Also just for curiosity sake 2:1 sugar to water is what we feed up our bees in the late fall before winter after the honey supers are off.
Your reaction at 10:00 made me feel proud. Your face just gave off a, "Yup, this is it," feeling.
TheFalloutHandbook Why the heck are you proud? You are not his mother.
@@Kronik360 Because he/she is a fan and connects with Glen.
@@Kronik360 You cannot understand that which has no life.
@@Kronik360 You've never been proud of anyone that is not your child? That's sad.
Says not to look at the fried Chicken:
*Zooms in on the Chicken*
Boylan's Cola. You need to try it. Best cola out there. Thanks for doing this for all us cola nuts out there.
For some reason I can only ever find the diet version.
Hi Glen! Been watching your videos religiously for a while and absolutely love them!
Riveted to the bucket of chicken, at which point Glen admonishes me not to look, hahaha.
he reads our minds
That old devil.
It’s a massive tease to keep it on your mind!
Great I'll be 500 lbs if I keep watching this channel
I can't figure out how Glen doesn't weight 500 lbs
Because you’ll stop moving?
You have a streak of 5 comments above and 8 bellow that were all liked by the channel.. Yours wasn't :)))
How much are you now, 400?
@@raresmircea awww lol
Thanks Glen, really been enjoying the videos you've been putting out
I always get so happy when CZcams recommends a video to me that becomes a favourite channel. Love from Saskatchewan :D
Came for the Coke formula, stayed for the ambiguous fried chicken bucket
More interested in the Cola myself.
Unless KFC Canada is run differently and they train their cooks a million times better, it's the same crap they sell in the States.
As for the Cola, I'd be interested in sampling the finished product from a GLASS bottle but I'm sure it's too expensive for Glen and Friends to even sell locally unless he starts a business with friends let alone shipping it across the border.
Honestly, I am curious about "homebrew" cola. I'm just not gonna make it in MY home because I'm not set up and I'm NOT that much of a masochist! Yeah, I'll leave this to the experts.
I've found a lot of the smaller, bottled colas to taste better than Coke or (yuckier to me!) Pepsi.
The pesky problem is that sugar content (generally better than 32g per bottle which is VERY high) which can get around 44g of cane sugar per bottle. I have to cut the sugar from my diet as low as possible so it's Coke only once in a VERY long while or if I eat out...
Wow! Was just watching your other coke videos and this one popped up. Never watched your videos until the first coke video came up in my recommended today.
Awesome content - keep it up!
Hi Glen! I stumbled across your channel and it's just the best! Thanks for all the great quality content!
The people who sold you the essential oils: “I’m sure this is some anti-medical nut case!”
Glenn in reality: *is painstakingly trying to recreate the CocaCola formula*
I would love to see your Squozen Cola on store shelves one day.
This guy squozens
So much fun! Have you thought about a magnetic frame to hold the silver play button on the fridge?
Congratulations on your CZcams milestone! I think I found your channel a few months ago while searching for how-to’s on browning butter (which I needed to learn to make brown butter shortbread), was immediately hooked and started tuning in regularly, as well as combing your previous videos. I love it when you share Depression and WWII-era recipes, and when you embarked on your cola series, knew the “coke” reference would help you grow your audience. I love your whole low-key style, your interactions with your wife, and that you always seem to use bowls too small for the ingredients you put in them. Keep on keep in’ on!

Yes! Another homemade Coke video, been looking forward to this

You deserve more subscribers sir, Your video’s quality is much better than many others with more subscribers, julia and you have a beautiful, warm and welcoming feel to your uploads, thank you
Probably one of my favorite channels out there so far, great content
Thank you Glen! We will be trying this one.
So you finally figured it out. Cool man. You've been passionate about this project.
This is such a wholesome channel, so Canadian it hurts! Reminds me of rural Ontario where I grew up :)
Glen you clearly have LOTS of time on your hands :) Thanks for your videos!
Love your channel it’s amazing!
I just finished the video, went back and watched a couple of parts more than once to get better detail or just laugh at the banter with Jules, and had a blast. For the record... I'm not even interested in making my own cola!! Really enjoyable Glen, really enjoyable.
Thank you for amazing content
I hope the colonel doesn't sue you, Glen.
Like your food grade whisk too! 👌
Love these videos. Always really unique!
Such a nice guy too. He's very calming to watch :)
When I first saw the bucket of chicken I thought, "Wow! Glen and Friends Cooking got a sponsor!". I was excited for the channel. haha
Thanks! I enjoy watching your videos.
Love this! 👍
The only "cooking show" I watch on YT, it's simple yet complex how you make the videos, hard to explain but I love the style👌🏽👌🏽 thumbs up for me.👍
I agree, I can't put my finger on it but there's something unique about his presentation that I like.
Tim Allen would be proud the way you mixed that with a drill!😂👍🏻
Really enjoyed this
Looking like a mad scientist. Love your videos!!
That contented look to the camera @ 9:59! What a great payoff.
I just LOVE watching this videos.
It is almost a look into a homey alchemical laboratory.
Loved it!!!!!!!
This channel rocks!
Root beer and cream soda are my 2 faves cant wait!!
I love the cordless drill. You should make it your signature mixer.
This is how you advertise a product, not through an advertisement before a CZcams video.
Just discovered your channel, great stuff. Keep it up. 👍👍

I could watch you make cola all day, awesome stuff here!
Of course I like it, man if you enjoy making that experiences keep blowing this up! Just love it! And I wanna be like you in a feel years.
I LOVE IT

Wrap a damp cloth towel around the base of the glass should help stabilize while mixing.
I really loved this video thanks
The patterns from the addition of the gum arabic mixture to the caramel were cool

We buy soda in liters and milk/water in gallons in the US
"Don't look at that....." kills me everytime. LOL!!!
The er, kentucky upload sounds Uber exciting....this channel is fantastic.. I absolutely love it. Amazing.
Love you videos, you are a amazing cook
Soda in the us is sold in liters. We have 1 liter, 2 liter , and it is hard to find but we have 3 liters bottles too.
Depends on where in the USA you are. Sometimes you can't find three liter bottles sometimes the store is filled with them
Generally just have store brands in three liter bottles here.
Glenn: "Pay no attention to the fried chicken!"
Me: You tease!
I used your orange and the grapefruit one you did. Only added lemon and lime. Came out a lot like Squirt. Just what I was hoping for. Thanks for the inspiration
I just started making this.
Got the essential oil blend mixed and the gum arrived today. Will continue and hopefully have it made and ready for sipping by the weekend.
Me: Now Glen... when I said "recipe for Chicken" the other day, I meant a recipe the cat could eat, not a recipe and method for cooking the bird. 😜 Also I had to look up why the bucket said PFK, didn't realize Quebec called KFC "Poulet Frit Kentucky." Makes sense, until you find out it's still Kentucky Fried Chicken in France.
Glen: "Don't look at the chicken, pay no mind to the chicken, this is the cola video."
Me: Ok ok, but I had to get it out of my system. I also love how you tease us with a glimpse of a future video that is in the pipeline with the star being on camera, and you telling us to pay no mind to it. I noticed you did it a lot with Panettone and it's an entertaining method for keeping the viewer engaged.
I'm curious what modifications would be needed to make this into a Pepsi, since I assume it tastes like Coca-Cola. I'm a Pepsi guy, but if it's close to Mexican Coke, I'm down, I like Mexican Coke. I think I'm just a snob that doesn't like HFCS in my soda. 😂
Come back for the big taste off, and we'll see which it tastes most like.
@@GlenAndFriendsCooking I plan to, as soon as I finish reading through all the comments I'm sharing this video with all my friends. Have a great day ❤🧡💛💙💚💜💖
I wonder if that flavoring could be added to ice cream as a topping or something… I can think of two general approaches: Make a syrup to drizzle on top, or make a thicker syrup or jelly to add as a “swirl” in the source container of ice cream.
Then, there's always the root beer float approach, but that's too obvious.
I love the mixer haha :) Another great video Glen, keep it up :)
He’s so proud! So wholesome!
Wow, didn’t know Richard Dawkins inherited the bartender gene.
LMAO
kristine rustan I usually never find the “oh can’t believe ‘blank’ is now doing ’blank’” thing too funny. However this was too good
You stole my joke! You wrote it first though haha
Glen: Don't look at that chicken!
Me: Looks at the chicken lol
Can't wait for root beer it's my fave! :D
Hey Glen and Julie! I absolutely love the way you plug future videos by hiding "Easter eggs" in your current uploads for us to question! It's a great unique little flavour you've got there keep it going!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Love this.
"That coke is more pleasant" while their eyes were dilated
ugh now i want fried chicken! xD thanks Glen
After watching the last several videos and this one with you not only adding all these exotic ingredients but also the mixing methods it started to make me wonder why people started doing this in the first place in the 1800's. You are doing it because you know what your outcome is going to be, but why would they have done it? How did they ever imagine adding all this up would lead to such an interesting drink. So fascinating.
Why do I enjoy watching this so much.
Hey glen can you link where to get the ingredients? Especially the oil
Would be great! 😃
We get the Jarritos Cola in Australia. Its the best
At the super mex markets around here you can get jarritos super cheap too.
And I have never seen it here in Baja, México. It is not a very popular brand except for the states in central México so that might be a reason.
Hell, Jarritos in cristal bottles are nowhere to be seen here but walk a few minutes to California and they have them... odd hahahaha.
Have them here in Texas, too.
Finland too.

Glen, where did you purchase your essential oils from? I know you finally chose one company over others based on price or quality. I've got a carbonator rig ready for your recipe!
Looking forward to the taste off!
Epic whisk, lol going to try that sometime
Based on the color, I would say it needs more caramel, or the syrup to water ratio needs to be increased.
Yes - needs more colour. But that's not a flavour thing, I can adjust that later.
Glen & Friends Cooking you need coco leaves, they still use them..
