Sheldon and published in "Michigan Farmer" in 1852—called for water, cream of tartar (tartaric acid), Epsom salts, sugar, egg, and milk, to be mixed, then heated, and when cool mixed with water and a quarter teaspoonful of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to make an effervescent drink.

Solo (Norwegian soft drink) Solo (Norwegian soft drink) Solo is an orange-flavoured soft drink, owned by the Norwegian companies Ringnes, Oskar Sylte, Aass, and Mack. The recipe was originally Spanish, and brought to the Tønsberg Bryggeri by Torleif Gulliksrud in 1934. Solo quickly became Norway's most popular soft drink, and until the 1960s was bigger than Coca-Cola in Norway. In 1999, Pepsi passed Solo in market share, leaving Solo as third most popular. Solo also has a history in Sweden and is today produced by Vasa Bryggeri in Sundsvall. As of 2005, Solo has a seven percent share of the Norwegian soft drink market.
