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.

Punchy Afternoon
Summer Punch course at Cocktail Club Charleston
There’s no better time for sharing an ice-filled punch bowl than summertime. The mixologists at The Cocktail Club Charleston displayed their extensive collection of punch bowls during an afternoon punch making course. We watched as the bartenders prepared Pimms Punch and Watermelon Sangria.
Mixologist Ryan Welliver informed us that the name “sangria” comes from the Spanish word for bloodletting due to the dark-red color of the beverage. We snacked on fresh popcorn and goat cheese and watermelon salsa bruschetta. Try making your own custom punch bowl at home this summer. Remember this simple rule of thumb – 1 part strong (vodka), 1 part weak (st. germain liqueur), 1 part sour (citrus juice) and 1 part sweet (fruit juice) – and you are sure to impress your brunch guests!
Cocktail Club Charleston Mixology Class
Whenever a new season arrives, new and seasonal cocktails are not far behind. Charleston’s Cocktail Club has started offering mixology classes every quarter to promote their own seasonal menu, and to teach cocktail lovers how to make delicious cocktails at home as well. We had the pleasure of attending their winter mixology class and it was very creative, informative and leaving ANY class with a buzz is always a plus!
