Southern Hot Toddy Queen of the South is a handcrafted whiskey-based liqueur blending Tennessee whiskey and Kentucky bourbon with natural honey, lemon, ginger and warming spices, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Southern Hot Toddy is an ancestral drink of honey, lemon, ginger and Southern distilled whiskey, reflecting a recipe passed down through generations since 1786. The founder's great-great-grandfather ran one of the largest stills in Batesville, Mississippi, and the family recipe became known as the drink of their ancestors. Queen of the South is a modern take on that beloved Southern classic.
