In a post awhile back, I made mention of Zarex, a fruit drink concentrate, I enjoyed as a child growing up in Connecticut.
That single mention of Zarex has driven a fair amount of traffic to my blog. It seems there is a fairly large number of baby boomers out there who also crave this highly sweetened syrup, either because of nostalgic reasons, or like me…they made the mistake of trying it in it’s pristine and undiluted state. Those like me, crave Zarex as is it were a version of liquid crack.
The blog’s Zarex driven traffic, made me start an Internet search for the stuff. My efforts have been both frustrating and tantalizing. I see many mentions of others seeking out Zarex as if it were the Holy Grail which would somehow return them to their childhood. I also see reports of sightings and potential sources, which all seem to dead-end somewhere. It would seem that Zarex is as elusive as Bigfoot.
Unlike Bigfoot, I believe Zarex is still around. I did find mention that Zarex was once distributed by a Dairy in the state of Maine. This led me to a search which revealed a Portland Maine based company, Absolute Marketing and Design, which touts Zarex as a client and designed the new logo pictured here.
I emailed the marketing company asking for any info they could provide me as a means to contact the company or to get my sweaty hands on a bottle of Zarex (Described by at least one cyber-surfer, as “The Nectar of the Gods”). I have yet to receive any response.
So I continue to seek the Grail. If you care to assist or are familiar with a source of Zarex…by all means post it here to be shared with the desperate and starving masses.

Zarex was produced by One Pie Canning Maple, 2 Depot St, West Paris, ME 04289. They carried it in local stores until a few weeks before Xmas and the store managers said they pulled it from the stores.Let's all write and ask them to bring it back.

I just tried to find it at Hannaford in Saco, ME where I've purchased it before. They say it was "discontinued"... is it not being made any longer, or are they just not stocking it?

ZaRex was a good drink...much better than the competition, and if it was too sweet you needed to adjust it to your taste (just like food). It was always a great base for a fruit punch or a flavor to spice up any drink or food that needed that particular flavor. In mixed drinks (alcoholic or not) trained barkeeps like it the best because it is naturally flavored and lacked a chemical aftertaste that all of the rest have.
As far as sno-cones (shaved ice in a cup with syrup over it...the best!
If you do not mind a suggestion, I think you need to revisit and adjust the mix to your liking, every food and spice (add to taste) has its' place; if you keep an open mind we may even get you to taste Moxie again (this time, try it with vanilla bean ice-cream in a float...yum!).
ZaRex was meant as a base or syrup but it could be mixed to drink, but like any good base it is so much better with the additions(have you ever eaten lobster all by its self...wow..good example!).
Well...you work on that, and I think your world will be soooo expanded; and like mom always said,"you're not leaving the table until you at least try it" she made things for your pleasure also, as again ZaRex is there for you again...be a good chef, and adjust!
