Winchester's gingery citrus soda, bottled since 1926 and still the Bluegrass region's default soft drink. Lexington drinks it cold from the bottle, in cocktails and even in barbecue glazes.
G.L. Wainscott began bottling Ale-8-One in Winchester in 1926, naming it through a slogan contest as 'A Late One', and the family-owned company never left Clark County.
