Vernors: The authentic legend of American soda 🥤

If you're looking for a drink with real soul, you've found it. Vernors isn't just any soft drink; it's an institution born in Detroit in 1866. Created by pharmacist James Vernor, the original recipe was discovered by pure chance: after leaving to fight in the Civil War, Vernor returned home to find his ginger syrup forgotten in an oak barrel for four years. The result? A drink with a woody character and incomparable fizz that would become the oldest soda in the United States still in operation.

Even today, Vernors retains its unique character, radically distinguishing it from all other ginger drinks on the market. It's not just a soda; it's a sensory experience steeped in history that we are proud to offer you.

Why Vernors is radically different 🪵

What makes Vernors so special is its "Bold" aromatic profile and its historic manufacturing process:

✨ Notes of Vanilla and Oak: Thanks to its aging heritage, it has unique woody and caramelized touches.
✨ The "Sneeze" Sparkle: Its carbonation is so lively that it is famous for making you sneeze or sting your nose with the first sip!
✨ Golden Dress: Unlike clear sodas, Vernors has a deep and warm amber color.
