1. Buy the ingredients listed on the back 2. Look up basic proportions & recipes for canned sodas online, just to get an idea about how much to use 3. Start experimenting, varying the ratios of each ingredient in each batch

I'm fairly certain this is an AI-generated answer.
You could ship a sample out to get a liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis done.
Then when it comes back with 4000 molecules as a result, figuring out which 2 spices are responsible for 3993 of those.
Usually only a few aromatics will make up the bulk of the flavor and they’re well known molecules, especially if they’re synthetic.
If none of that is a possibility, try to find a certified sommelier, preferably a class where you can have a teacher and students taste test it. Their training involves learning to distinguish a bunch of aromatic compounds using an essential oil kit so they might be able to isolate some of the flavors.
If you really want to do it using just the stuff in your kitchen, you could order an aroma training kit and try it yourself. Otherwise, I’m afraid reverse engineering it yourself is really hard. There are over 2,600 flavoring food additives recognized by the EU, alone. The benefit of doing it with a trained sommelier is that they can help figure out substitutions even if they can’t identify the exact flavor.
