Blenheim Ginger Ale

Blenheim Ginger Ale

Blenheim Ginger Ale is a ginger ale bottled by Blenheim Bottlers in Hamer, Dillon County, South Carolina. It was originally bottled in Blenheim, Marlboro County, South Carolina. It was created by a local doctor in 1903 by mixing Jamaican ginger with the local mineral waters since the flavor of the mineral waters was so strong.

Blenheim's is owned by the Schafer family, who also own the world famous South of the Border truck stop.

It is sold in 12 ounce bottles.

Charles Kuralt did a segment on Blenheim Ginger Ale for CBS.
Penn Jillette is a fan of Blenheim Ginger Ale and wore a Blenheim shirt on the cover of Wired Magazine.
