About

As every gracious southerner knows, offering a beverage to guests is a natural part of welcoming them into your home. Libations are an essential first step in planning and hosting a coastal Southern soirée. So after exchanging hugs and greetings, consider pouring your guests a fine cocktail to quench their thirst.

Crafting the perfect cocktail embodies the spirit of Southern hospitality like nothing else. Whether they’re enjoying a lazy weekend brunch, cruising along the river, or rocking on a front porch while listening to the symphony of katydids and crickets, Southerners love just the right cocktail to suit the occasion.
