🎉💚 160 Years of Vernors! 💚🎉
Now that's something worth raising a frosty glass to!
First served to the public in Detroit in 1866, Vernors was created by Detroit pharmacist James Vernor and quickly became a Detroit favorite. Today, it proudly holds the title of America's oldest surviving ginger ale and remains one of the most iconic flavors of the Motor City.
For generations of Detroiters, Vernors has been more than just a soft drink—it's a tradition. Whether you enjoy it ice cold on a hot summer day, paired with a Detroit classic meal, or floating in a Boston Cooler, there's nothing quite like that unmistakable Vernors kick!
160 years later, Vernors is still a must-try for anyone visiting Detroit and a delicious reminder of the city's rich history, innovation, and hometown pride.
