In addition to other funny non-alcoholic drinks, there’s a precursor here to the Pumpkin Juice at Universal’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter:
Pumpkin Brew, like mother used to take
Vebo, for that dried feeling
Bubbleola
Raisinade
Bonco Bung, 3/8 of 1/8 percent
Gooseberry Pop, it’s a fizzle
Souseless Slops
Yale Ginger Ale
Claret Bluff, red in color, colorless in character
Snappy Suds, it foams at the mouth
Huckleberry Hoch, bum’s the word
Lemon Squash, the boozeless beverage
Boca-Bola, the dust allayer
Ginger Joy
Guzzaline, for the gullet
Prune Phizz
Brandy-nit
Shampain Shoddy, the fizz-water that fuddles
Persimmon Punch
From The Judge, 1920.
