the PICKLED OKRA I s there any place that drinks more poetically than the South? We think not. But if you immediately envision a Mint Julep, prepare to be amazed at The Pickled Okra, a bar rooted in Southern tradition but offering a tangible, imaginative taste of The New South. Ours is a chef-driven bar, inspired by the kitchen and the menu and the idea that Tupelo’s spirits should be as flavorful as its food. To accomplish this, we use our own fresh purees, our own house-made infusions, our own creative all-natural garnishes. Our cocktails and elixirs are made from scratch, just like our cuisine – fresh, fun and full flavored. We’re happy to make you a Mint Julep, if that’s what you crave. But we encourage you to try one of our liberating libations, created from scratch on the blank canvas of a bar glass. Cocktails elevated to an art form? Yes. Pure poetry in a glass? You bet your swizzle stick. COCKY TAILS BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAIN MARTINIS Yep, we’re proud of our specialty drinks all right. Nuff said. We name our martinis after our beloved Blue Ridge Mountains because it reminds us to set our sights high and keep our flavors natural. This means our take on shaken not stirred is perched at a whole new level.
