Imagine sipping a fine bourbon... now imagine it mixed with Mountain Dew. Sacrilege? Or a secret Southern sophistication waiting to be discovered? We're challenging everything you thought you knew about taste and tradition, exploring if this unlikely duo can forge a surprisingly elegant cocktail that defies all expectations.

Before it was a neon-green staple of gas station shelves and gaming marathons, it was a secret whispered in the hollows of the Blue Ridge Mountains. In the 1940s, if you asked for a 'Mountain Dew,' you weren't looking for soda—you were looking for a chaser strong enough to tame the bite of illegal Tennessee moonshine. Today, we’re tracing the high-fructose journey of an Appalachian mixer that went from the backwoods of Knoxville to a global empire. Grab a glass; we’re going back to the source.

Barney and Ally Hartman very possibly laid the groundwork for the modern all-nighter gaming session!
