The Orca Beverage Company has brought back to life a number of “classic” American sodas. On this site, they present BubbleUp (a lemon lime soda), Dad’s Classic Draft Root Beer (made with the original 1937 formula), Quench (a grapefruit soda from the 1940’s), NuGrape ( a grape soda that was first bottled in 1921), Nesbitt’s of California (they began bottling the orange soda in 1938, and used Marilyn Monroe as a poster girl in 1946), and Sioux City Sodas (which include such interesting flavors as birch beer and sarsaparilla).

One of the more interesting of the sodas here is the original Moxie. A link leads to the history and even music of this drink that gave us the term “moxie” (meaning to have nerve or guts) So get some Moxie and try some![Orca Beverage]
