Meet the Founder

The Southern Hot Toddy is deeply rooted in the heritage of the Stoxstell family, originating in 1786 in the foothills of the Mississippi Delta. Lee Stoxstell, the great-great-grandfather, operated one of the largest stills in Batesville, Mississippi, running moonshine from Memphis to Chicago. His exceptional liquor once earned him an antique Winchester rifle in trade, a treasured family heirloom to this day. This legacy was passed down through generations, with each family member contributing to the preservation and perfection of the Southern Hot Toddy recipe. Today, the family honors this rich history by sharing their ancestral drink with the world.
