Vernors Ginger Ale, Hires Root Beer, Dr Pepper; Each of these soft drinks is
identified at various spots on the Internet as the nation’s oldest soft
drink brand. Of these three venerable soft drinks—all now owned by
Cadbury/Schweppes—Vernors is the brand with the earliest beginnings.
It was apparently in 1866 that James Vernor first added his ginger extract,
which had aged four years in a barrel, to a glass of soda water. He began
selling his drink in that year, or at least soon after that, to patrons of
his Detroit drug store. This was the first of the contenders to be sold
commercially.
A rival contender for the distinction of being the “the oldest continuously
marketed soft drink in the United States” is Moxie.
Moxie was first marketed in 1876 as a medicine by a doctor in Maine who
guaranteed it to cure multiple ills.
Even if the other three soft drinks were marketed later than Moxie, it must
be noted that Moxie was marketed as an syrupy elixir, not a carbonated drink.
