Soft Drinks Overview
The word soft drink evolved to differentiate between hard liquor and alcohol. To change the hard-drinking habits of early Americans, soft drinks were recommended as an alternative.
The first soft drinks on the market appeared in the 17th century. They are produced from honey-sweetened milk and lemon juice. In 1676, a monopoly for the selling of lemonade soft drinks was given to the Compagnie de Paris. Sellers would hold lemonade containers on their backs and give soft drink cups to Parisian.
