The Patron Experience 101
If any of you know the Cocktail Bandits, you know that our first love is tequila. It is the reason why we created the brand. For the last 3 years, we have been studying/tasting different tequilas, learning about the culture and we have been praying for a way to get down there to learn more. We were so thrilled that our prayers were answered when the USBG- Charleston as well as the Patron Academy gave us the opportunity of a lifetime! They invited us, along with other bartenders/mixologists to visit the Patron Hacienda in Mexico this week!
In 2016 the #HaciendaPatron and USBG partnered together and are inviting top USBG bartenders from around the country each month to visit their distillery , learn the whole tequila process, and show why Patron is not a tequila made for the “Gringo” palate. (Total myth)
Antonio was very knowledgeable about the tequila business. We love how excited he was during the presentation and the tour. We love what we do so it’s nice to be around people who love tequila as much as we do.

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!
