Abstract:

"Throughout its history, Winston Salem's Piedmont Airlines stayed one step ahead of the competition by coming up with innovative ways to satisfy its customers, like a one-of-a kind beverage that former passengers and employees still thirst for." From its beginnings in 1948, the airline always looked at ways to distinguish itself. Piedmont punch was introduced in October 1981. The 1989 merger with another airline was the beverage's demise. Chris Runge is curator and historian of the Piedmont Aviation Historical Society. A recipe of the original punch is included in the article.
