For the "tater sticker," we paid homage to the birthplace of the Sazerac drink, New Orleans. When we think of the Big Easy, a few things come to mind - Sazerac, beignets, Mardi Gras, and jazz. When it comes to latter, the city produced legends not only in jazz but in music in general. One such legend is Louis Armstrong, aka "Satchmo." We love his music and decided to play homage to his nickname, so "Satchmo" became "Sazchmo." Crack open the bottle, play Mr. Armstrong's best hits, and it's an experience you are likely to remember for a while.
As suggested by our members, the pick will support Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. $5 from each bottle will go directly to JDRF, where good folks are leading the fight against type 1 diabetes (T1D) by funding research, advocating for policies that accelerate access to new therapies, and providing a support network for millions people around the world impacted by T1D.
