About " A LATE ONE" SOFT DRINK
A Late One is a ginger-flavored soft drink produced by Ale-8-One Bottling Company, a Kentucky-based brand with a long history in regional American soda culture. Despite the playful name suggesting a late-evening beverage, this soda does contain caffeine, positioning it as a mild energy-adjacent refreshment rather than a purely casual drink.
The flavor profile is built on real ginger, which gives it a gentle spice and warmth that separates it from typical citrus or cola sodas. Ale-8-One ginger sodas have developed a loyal following in the American South and Midwest, occupying a niche between ginger ale — typically lighter and less spicy — and ginger beer, which is often more intense and less sweet. This product sits in that middle ground: approachable enough for everyday sipping but characterful enough to stand apart from commodity sodas.
From a calorie standpoint, A Late One is among the lighter carbonated beverages in its category, with a low per-serving calorie count driven by a modest sugar content. The ingredient list features carbonated water and a blend of real sugar and corn sweetener as the sweetness base. Glycerin adds a slight mouthfeel and body. Ginger is listed as a distinct ingredient, reinforcing the natural spice character. Natural and artificial flavorings, citric acid, phosphoric acid, and sodium benzoate round out the formulation, with caramel coloring giving the soda its amber hue.
This soda is particularly enjoyable chilled and pairs well with spicy food, barbecue, and fried Southern cuisine where the ginger cuts through richness. It also works as a mixer in cocktails or mocktails calling for ginger flavor. Serve cold over ice for best results.
