The Old Southern Tea Room 24 Hour Cocktail

Founded in 1941 by Mary McKay, The Old Southern Tea Room in Vicksburg, Mississippi is one of the South's legenday restaurants. What could inspire so much excitement for so many years, you ask? Nothing but plain old Southern home cookin' - the best fried chicken anywhere, the crispest friend shrimp, and desserts that could make you cry, if depreived of them! This cocktail is a long-time favorite at the Tea Room, and is at its best after being refrigerated for 24 hours.

This is perfect for back yard grilling, formal dinners or sitting on the porch sipping. I love the make-ahead part. You could certainly use this for a Derby Party.
