(When I was a kid, I didn’t realize that the image on the Cotton Club bottle's label was a silhouette of a band, or that there was a famous Harlem nightclub by that name.)
Cotton Club Bottling was originally a Cleveland company. Besides their Ginger Ale, the company also manufactured Cherikee Red, as well as 50/50, the half-grapefruit, half-lime soft drink.
Of course, Cotton Club Less Sweet Ginger Ale is well-remembered for the brand’s comely mascot, Big Ginger, whose likeness adorned the bottle’s label.
In the meantime for your amusement, here’s a 1970s disco-themed commercial for Cotton Club Less Sweet Ginger Ale.
