Lowcountry Meets Libations: Southern Spirits Worth Sipping at Eleven

Lowcountry Meets Libations: Southern Spirits Worth Sipping at Eleven—A Sip-by-Sip Tour Through the South, Served in a Very Stylish Glass

At Eleven Cocktail Lounge in downtown Ocean Springs, we don’t just serve drinks—we serve stories. And while our lounge may be dressed in coastal cool with velvet seating and moody lighting, our soul is Southern through and through. That means bold flavors, seasonal flair, and cocktails that carry a whisper of Lowcountry charm with every sip.

So if you’ve ever wondered what Southern hospitality tastes like in liquid form, pull up a chair and prepare your palate—because we’re pouring tradition, sass, and sophistication all in one coupe glass.

🥃 Southern Roots, Shaken & Stirred

Fig Old Fashioned This isn’t your grandpa’s bourbon neat. Our Fig Old Fashioned takes a Southern staple and gives it a sultry twist, blending rich fig notes with smooth whiskey. It’s the kind of drink that feels like porch swings at dusk and stories you weren’t supposed to hear.

The Banana Bread Old Fashioned Banana bread in a glass? Yes, ma’am. This cozy concoction blends nutty, mellow sweetness with the sturdy backbone of bourbon—think dessert meets Southern gentleman. It’s comfort and complexity, all tied up with an orange peel.

King Cake Old Fashioned Only in the South would we have a Mardi Gras cocktail that tastes like a cinnamon-laced parade. It's festive. It's nostalgic. It's dangerously good—and no, there’s no tiny baby inside (we checked).

🍑 Fruity, Southern, and Fancy Without Trying

Peach Thyme Smash Sweet Southern peaches get an herbal high-five from fresh thyme in this smash hit. It’s basically Georgia summer bottled in cocktail form. Pro tip: pairs beautifully with laughter and light gossip.

Raspberry Sour Tart, vibrant, and just a little mischievous—this one’s for those who like their drinks with a little drama (and we mean that in the best way).

The Government Street Cup Inspired by the local charm of Ocean Springs’ iconic stretch, this cocktail blends classic Southern flavors with just enough flair to turn heads. Think iced tea's glamorous cousin with a passport and a playlist.

🍸 The New Southern Classics

Gin Basil Smash Southern gardens meet modern mixology. It’s herbal, refreshing, and makes you feel like someone who owns monogrammed everything.

The Mississippi Punch A bold homage to the cocktail culture of the Gulf South, this boozy beauty mixes rum, brandy, and Southern charm into one unapologetically strong and sippable glass. Punch? More like knockout.

The Winter Smash Even Southern winters deserve a signature sip. This seasonal favorite is smoky, citrusy, and ideal for cozying up—whether you’re fireside or just pretending it’s below 70.

🥂 Why Southern Cocktails Just Hit Different

At Eleven, we believe the South isn’t just a place—it’s a feeling. It’s the way flavors layer like stories passed down over dinner. It’s the slow pour, the long drawl, the "y’all" that turns strangers into friends. Our cocktails channel that same warmth and wit—with a modern edge that makes them just as perfect for a date night as they are for a night out with your brunch crew.

So next time you’re craving a cocktail with soul, skip the usual and let Eleven show you how we do Southern—with spirit, sass, and a whole lot of style.

Come sip with us. Your Southern cocktail awakening awaits. 🥃✨
