No, the original idea for the beverage was to mix the syrup with carbonated water. This Myth was started because Pemberton, the founder of Coca-Cola, was making an alcoholic beverage, but at the time Atlanta was dry, so he invented Coca-Cola instead. Pemberton was a pharmacist, and later sold Coca-Cola in his store, but it still wasn't bottled. It was sold by the fountain. Pemberton's nephew was a journalist, and mistakenly said that Coca-Cola became carbonated by accident. - John Baskin
