Grand Marnier® Embraces Hip Hop’s Milestone with Teezo Touchdown: THE Holiday Fusion
Several of the most impactful and cultured people I’ve known have been fans of Grand Marnier® ever since I can remember…I have some fond memories of last-minute crosstown package store runs because the function was going on longer than anticipated and to avoid a party foul, the supply had to be replenished!!! Great memories. Now, this must-have amongst discerning palates has joined a global community as it celebrates Hip Hop 50. This defining moment in the fabric of the worldwide music community’s history creates a perfect moment to discuss a brand that has stood the test of time…check out how Grand Marnier® is standing alongside Hip Hop culture and how they’re commemorating the historic benchmark this holiday season.
