It all began with a park...

When Buffalo natives PJ and Carolyn Davis moved to Saratoga Springs and opened PJ’s BAR-B-Q, they brought their favorite hometown flavors with them. Wings, beef on weck, Sahlen’s hot dogs… and, of course, loganberry.
Originally made from a secret family recipe, the drink was served only at the restaurant. Soon after, it started outselling major soda brands.
