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. Southern Smoke Cigars is owned by two couples: the Robertsons and the Bostwics and they are just a amazing! We can’t wait to have more cigars soon! We love them. Check them out online and book them for you next event and have a #southernsmoke for us!

30 Days 30: The Orange Spot Coffee House
The Orange Spot Coffee House in Park Circle has to be one of our favorite favorite places in Charleston. Park Circle is a hidden gem, the Bandits are usually enjoying the downtown area, but this place is new and emerging… Also very family friendly.
The owners of the Orange Spot, Laura and Julie, are just some special ladies. Since the first time we walked into their establishment, we were greeted with smiles and orange brightness; not to mention amazing coffee and wonderful service. These gals tend to be modest about their beverage curating skills, but they are very creative baristas. Various spiced simple syrups as well as their sage lattes were the highlight of our morning. These ladies also made us some of the most delicious craft coffee cocktails that we’ve ever tasted. The group favorite had to be an Avion Expresso coffee cocktail that was spiced with hot peppers and garnished with chocolate shavings; it was sweet, and definitely had a kick at the end.
If you are a coffee lover, and want to try some delicious new creative coffee drinks, then you have to check these ladies out! You don’t know what you’re missing…
Also we want to thank the Orange Spot Coffee House for hosting us and showing us how diverse and AWESOME coffee can be!

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.

Tequila Don Julio: Farm-to-Shaker Event
We never need an excuse to indulge in agave spirits but Tequila Don Julio provided a one of a kind experience. We were told to meet at Proof for a welcome cocktail and to await the bus. Proof is known for innovative whiskey cocktails but today, mixologist and bar owner, Craig Nelson prepared at delicious tequila, made with Don Julio 70th Anniversary, called The Underdog.
