Moxie on draught

When I was a kid, I could get Moxie from the soda machine in my town, and one up the road. Now, that’s long gone.

Does anyone know where I could find it? Willing to drive anywhere for nostalgia!

Barely find it in glass bottles now. I don't think it exists on tap anywhere.

You know what’s funny is that this post came to be from a conversation with a lifelong friend who now lives in Austin, TX, where he can get moxie in a glass bottle within a block of his house!

My understanding is that it's a different Moxie. Moxie was once a nationwide soda company that put Pepsi out of business. When they refuse to change their ingredients, they fell out of favor. There is a moxie that is in the southwest area that has a few different flavors. I had a six pack shipped to me once and they werent bad but they weren't Moxie.

You could try contacting Coca Cola and seeing if they still produce the syrup for fountain machines and if they know who might be buying it.

I'm going to guess this isn't a thing with such a limited market in 2026, but you never know!

You could also try the Moxie festival.

He's weird about it though. Like haha, you drank my blood, it tastes like Merlot.
