A 1939 Soda-Shop Classic
Frostie dates to 1939, when George Rackensperger started bottling soda near Baltimore, Maryland. The brand has changed hands over the decades — Monarch Beverage, Leading Edge Brands, and now Intrastate Distributors — but the formula's appeal never moved: real cane sugar, a long-neck glass bottle, and flavors that taste like the corner soda fountain. Concord grape is the flagship of the line, and it is the one Frostie drinkers hunt for first. See the full Frostie lineup or grab mixers from our cocktails selection.
Tasting Notes
Deep Concord grape up front — sweet, juicy, and candy-like in the best nostalgic sense, with a clean carbonated snap and none of the syrupy heaviness of HFCS sodas.
How to Enjoy
Serve ice-cold straight from the glass bottle. It makes a proper purple cow with vanilla ice cream, and the cane-sugar profile plays well as a cocktail mixer where you want real grape flavor without artificial bite.
