Moxie's flavor is unique, as it is not as sweet as most modern soft drinks and is described by some as bitter. Moxie is flavored with gentian root extract and originated around 1876. Moxie is closely associated with the state of Maine and was designated the official soft drink of Maine. Review: Good Moxie - It took a while to get here but worth the wait. Review: Put a little Moxie in your life! - Moxie is one of the oldest mass-produced soft drinks in the United States, dating back to 1876. Originally marketed as Moxie Nerve Food, it has evolved into a cult classic, especially in New England, where it is the official state soft drink of Maine. Unlike modern colas that lean heavily into syrupy sweetness, Moxie offers a profile that is famously described as distinctively different. Flavor Profile and Ingredients The primary differentiator for Moxie is gentian root extract. This botanical ingredient provides a deep, herbal bitterness that kicks in after the initial notes of cola and wintergreen. Initial Taste: Sweet and spicy, similar to a mix of root beer and a mild cola. The Aftertaste: This is where Moxie is most divisive. The gentian root leaves a medicinal, bitter finish that many compare to Amari or cocktail bitters. Key Ingredients: Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup (or cane sugar in specialty bottles), caramel color, and the signature gentian root extractives. Historical Legacy Created by Dr. Augustin Thompson, Moxie was once the most popular soda in America, even outselling Coca-Cola in the early 1900s. Its name has since entered the English lexicon as a synonym for courage, spirit, or nerve. While it is now owned by the Coca-Cola Company, it maintains a niche, regional identity rather than a global presence. Performance and Value For the average consumer, Moxie is an acquired taste. It performs best when served ice cold, which helps temper the intensity of the bitter notes. Pros: It is far less cloying than standard sodas and has a complex, "adult" flavor profile. It also works exceptionally well as a cocktail mixer for spirits like rum or mezcal. Cons: The medicinal quality can be off-putting to those used to modern flavor profiles. It can also be difficult to find outside of the Northeast, though it is often stocked at Cracker Barrel locations nationwide. Final Verdict Moxie is a drink for those who appreciate botanical complexity and history in a bottle. If you enjoy root beer, black licorice, or herbal tonics, it is worth trying at least once to experience a piece of American beverage history. ## Features - A New England tradition since 1884 - Moxie is the oldest continually produced soft drink in the United States - Moxie Original Elixir - If you've got moxie, you've got taste! - Distinctively Different - Gentian root extract ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B079G3P558 | | ASIN | B079G3P558 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #61,575 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #513 in Soda Soft Drinks | | Brand Name | Moxie | | Container Type | Can | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (597) | | Department | unisex-adult | | Flavor | Original | | Flavored Drink Type | Carbonated Flavored Drink | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 4.67 Kilograms | | Item Volume | 12 Fluid Ounces | | Item Weight | 10.3 Pounds | | Liquid Contents Description | Soft Drinks | | Manufacturer | Moxie Beverage Company | | Manufacturer | Moxie Beverage Company | | Net Content Volume | 12 Fluid Ounces | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 12 | | Package Type | Box Set | | Package Type Name | Can | | Product Dimensions | 15.63 x 5.47 x 4.96 inches; 10.3 Pounds | | Product Shelf Life | 270 Days | | Recommended Uses For Product | general beverage use | | Special Ingredients | gentian root extract | | Specialty | Natural | | UPC | 740642667499 | | UPC | 740642667499 | | Unit Count | 12.00 Count | | Units | 12.00 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Moxie - **Flavor:** Original - **Item Form:** Liquid - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Package Information:** Can ## Images ![Moxie Soda (12-12oz Cans) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ZnlujZp6L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Flavor** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Moxie *by J***K on March 1, 2026* It took a while to get here but worth the wait. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Put a little Moxie in your life! *by W***U on March 27, 2026* Moxie is one of the oldest mass-produced soft drinks in the United States, dating back to 1876.

The little lobster shack recommended I try a local soda called Moxie. It’s really true… You either love this stuff, or you run to the sink! Me? When I got home, I ordered a couple dozen cans. If you have no idea what this tastes like, it’s kind of a cross between root beer and Dr. Pepper with a slight spice that I can’t place. Anyway, I have a new favorite soda, but it gets a bit pricey when it has to be shipped down from Maine! ## Frequently Bought Together - Moxie Soda (12-12oz Cans) - Moxie Soda Pop, 12 Ounce (12 Cans) - IRN-BRU From AG Barr The Original and Best Sparkling Flavored Soft Drink | A Scottish Favorite | 330 ML (Pack of 6) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/192824820-moxie-soda-12-12oz-cans](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/192824820-moxie-soda-12-12oz-cans) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
