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 at the array of refreshing libations to catch our drift! Here, we’ve singled out 19 examples of Southern sipping at its finest, from the English-inspired Pimm’s Cup to the not-so-innocent Hurricane!
#1: Cheerwine
This North Carolina soda boasts a cult status following (for a long time, you could only buy it regionally). Sweet without being cloying, with just the right punch of fizz and cherry goodness, Cheerwine is what Cherry Coke wishes it could be. There’s even a Cheerwine Festival to prove it.
