If you look at all the root-extract beverages, they have lots of ingredients in common, especially wintergreen surprisingly. Moxie is basically a root beer with gentian extract. I've reviewed its original formula in ledgers of the company chemist. See more in our 2019 Arcadia Publishing book, Moxie. www.moxiesoda.com. Dennis Sasseville & Merrill Lewis.

Angostura Bitters contain gentian root and other flavoring ingredients, and were well-known as a flavor ingredient (mainly for cocktails) a long time before Thompson's creation went on the market.
