Notes:  Moxie Elixir is one of the oldest soda pops in the United States.  It started off as a gentian root elixir, but once soda water was added to the mix, it's been Moxie soda for over a century.  The drink itself tasted like a really strong root/birch beer.  It didn't give me pep or vigor, but it cooled me down on a hot day.
