30 Days 30 Faves – Cocktail Club Charleston
Cocktail Club is the exact place where we coined the terms “Cocktail Bandits”. We found ourselves at the end of the night with a table full of glasses of all shapes and sizes in different states of imbibe surrounded by good friends discuss past adventures and future plans of mischief.
We had no intention of staging at the bar that long and absolutely no inkling. That we would consume that many spirited beverage.
That typical of our time spent at Cocktail Club. Before your realize it, you’ve sipped hours away in the dimly light upstairs bar entertainment by the preparation of each drink and the look of satisfaction on the face of its intended.

30 Days 30 Faves – Southern Smoke Cigars
Southern Smoke Cigar is the ultimate smoking paradise on the go. Every since we first heard about Southern Smoke, they’ve invited us to have’s smokes, dinner, and an all-around good time! They’re awesome. When you step on this smoke mobile, it is a different world with plush couches, boss seats in the back, and super sexy decorations all around. They have an array of different cigars from the small, dainty cigars ladies like me enjoy to the big bold flavored cigars that the southern gentlemen tend to smoke.
Sometimes, they surprise their guests and bring on their own personal craft signature cocktails. You know that the bandits love love love cigar and cocktail pairings.

30 Days of 30 – Upper King Swing
Prohibition has to be our FAVORITE “Period” bar here in Charleston.
They have cocktails that mirror the classics from the pre-prohibition period and their food is simply amazing! We have fond memories from this bar and have always remembered that they have supported us from the beginning.
Shaun Gordon has been on our page several times for his creative cocktails. We are thankful to have bartenders like him to support our movement. Shaun made 2 delicious cocktails.

Coffee Cocktails
Life is too short crappy coffee cocktails! And with yummy cocktail creations for Brooks Reitz of Leon’s Oyster Shop there’s never a need too! Brooks brought along his signature Jack Rudy Tonic to blend the Cherry Bourbon syrup cocktail and a few ounces of Revelator El Carmen – cold brew. With literally a cherry on top, this cocktail is refreshing at any time of the day.
Remember, it’s never too late for coffee or too early for a cocktail. But if you’re looking for a happy medium, combine Bourbon infused with Revelator’s Shakiso coffee, coffee syrup and a few dashes of bitters for a Coffee Old Fashioned that takes the classic cocktail to the barista level!
Get as creative as possible when adding coffee to your cocktail. Try chocolate rum or vanilla flavored vodka to your usual morning cup of joe to add spice to your afternoon. If you’re in need of a bit of variety in your coffee collection, grab a ticket to the Charleston Coffee Cup on November 8th at the newly open Cigar Factory from 10am until 3pm.
