What's in a Name?

Picture
mox·ie noun \ˈmäk-sē\Definition of MOXIE1 : energy, pep 2 : courage, determination
3 : know-how

Ok, we all know that, but "Moxie" is also the name for the first mass produced soft drink in America!  First sold in 1876 as "nerve food," by a doctor in Union, Maine, Moxie is still bottled to this day and celebrated each year the the Moxie Festival in Lisbon Falls.  Upon your first half-dozen tastes, Moxie's bitter, almost acidic taste is difficult to swallow, but devotees swear that it grows on you and actually begins to start tasting good, like a rare and delicate sarsaparilla!

A New Orleans Original

Picture
Forget Hurricanes and Hand Grenades, the Sazerac is the true cocktail of New Orleans.  A potent, ruby-red blend of rye whiskey, Herbsaint, bitters, simple syrup, lemon peel, and three ice cubes, the Sazerac is strong, smooth, and eminently sippable. 

(Lagniappe: a New Orleans saying that means, roughly, "a little something extra.")
