The South is often talked about for its food, its historical impact on America, and its naturally occurring must-see landmarks. However, we can’t help but declare that Southern beverages and cocktails deserve a spot on that list! Gathering around the table and enjoying the little things in life are two lifestyle mottos that we think the South has perfected like no other region in America. You only need to look to the array of refreshing libations to catch our drift! Here, we’ve singled out 18 examples of Southern sipping at its finest, from the English-inspired Pimm’s Cup to the not-so-innocent Hurricane!
#1: Pimm’s Cup
The first of several drinks on this list that derives from the tipsy diva of Southern cities herself, New Orleans, the Pimm’s Cup actually comes from British beginnings. Made with Pimm’s No.1, lemon soda, cucumber, and a garnish of fresh mint, the Pimm’s Cup has become a beloved drink for when light and refreshing is the order of the afternoon.
