Also means
cocaine (slang)
Usage Note
Coca is the standard informal shortening for any cola drink — un coca at a café means a glass of cola. As a masculine noun it takes un/le. In a different register, coca is also street slang for cocaine, so context matters. The coca plant (Erythroxylum coca) from which cocaine is derived shares the same name.
Examples
"Tu veux un coca avec ton repas ?"
