Artifact Overview
Vernor's Ginger Ale, one of the oldest surviving soft drinks in the United States, was created in 1866 in Detroit and remains a favorite beverage of Michiganders. Creator James Vernor's mixture included ingredients such as ginger, vanilla, spices, and sugar, but his process of aging the concoction in oak barrels is credited for the beverage's "deliciously different" taste, as this label declares.
