It’s 6 p.m., you’re done with work, and your porch is beckoning. Now, what to drink?
As much as we love a glass of red wine or a full-bodied stout, the SC heat tends to drive our drink tastes elsewhere come summer – so we asked the local experts at Bottles what they recommend.
Here are 7 popular, easy-drinking bevs that are perfect for summer + available now at Bottles through in-person shopping (with employees on-hand to offer additional customized recommendations), call/email-ahead order, and curbside pickup:
