Franklin-Based Made South Acquires Premium Cocktail Mixer Purveyor Eli Mason

FRANKLIN, TN — Franklin-based Made South announced Tuesday that it acquired Nashville premium cocktail mixer brand Eli Mason.

“I’ve been an Eli Mason customer for a long time,” Chris Thomas, Made South founder, said in a release. “The purchase fits well with Made South’s growing platform of events that celebrate the best artisan goods, food, drink, music and art in the South.”

Founded in 2013, Eli Mason is distributed in gift shops and liquor stores throughout Tennessee, but Made South plans to take it region-wide across the South in 2017.

“Chris has built an audience with Made South that appreciates fine Southern goods and workmanship,” Eli Mason founder, Luke Duncan, said. “I believe that Made South is the right company to take Eli Mason into the next phase of its development.”
