You get a precise formula for your soda. You do a patent search with the U.S. patent office to make sure there is nothing too similar, and then you get a patent attorney to help you file your idea.. Recipes, however, are rarely patented. Just keep it secret and figure out a way to mass produce it and maybe you'll be rich!

I have heard that the best way to record your idea is to seal it in an envelope and send it to yourself via recorded mail. On reciept do not open the envelope then you have proof of your idea and timing, but I supose it does not stop your idea getting copied just records it.
