Vernors is one of the nation’s oldest soda drinks. Created by Detroiter James Vernor in 1866. James Vernor was a well respected pharmacist known for his meticulous care with his prescriptions. Vernors was created when James was experimenting to create a medical tonic using vanilla, spices and ginger. The company remained in the family until 1966 before it was sold.
