In honor of Steel Magnolias taking the stage at the Lyceum Theatre, we’ve created a signature cocktail inspired by one of the South’s most unforgettable characters: Truvy’s Porch Punch. Just like Truvy’s porch, this drink is sweet, refreshing, and made for good conversation! It’s the perfect sip before the show, after the show, or anytime you feel like gathering your favorite people and enjoying a little Southern charm. So come raise a glass to Truvy, Shelby, M’Lynn, and all the unforgettable ladies of Steel Magnolias.

CORRECTION: This weekend will feature our famous fried chicken buffet during the Lyceum shows, and we will NOT be serving our Prime Rib on Saturdays during theater performances.
