I listened to the "This American Life" episode. They took the recipe to Jones Soda and had them make it. They had to tweak it a bit because modern Coke contains things like high fructose corn syrup, but the result turned out pretty close to the original. So, with enough time and effort you could probably come out with an exact copy, but you'd still have a hard time selling it because you'd be competing with over a hundred years of Coca Cola's branding.
