Cheers in Greenville: A Spirited Visit to New South Spirits
Hey there, cocktail enthusiasts! If you find yourself wandering the bustling streets of Greenville, I’ve got a little gem you simply must check out. Nestled in the heart of downtown, you’ll discover a hidden treasure known as New South Spirits. Now, this isn’t your average distillery — it’s a whimsically chaotic haven where creativity flows as freely as their drinks!
As we stepped inside this lively spot, the buzz in the air was infectious. You could sense the excitement as folks gathered to sample the house-distilled spirits that are truly the star of the show. And let me tell you, they’re not just smooth; they’re practically singing songs of flavor! If you’re a fan of sipping on high-quality liquors, they’ve got a selection that’s simply irresistible.
The Spark of Inspiration
So, how did this all come to be? Just a few years back, two innovative engineers, Lisa Messenger and Todd Harbin, were cruising through their regular co-working grind when they realized they both had a fiery passion for artisanal liquors. That light bulb went off, and they decided to combine their diverse skills to create something spectacular. After countless trials and a little bit of error, Todd developed a proprietary distillation process that resulted in an incredible array of additive-free spirits. And just like that, New South Spirits was born!
Sip, Savor, and Sample
Once we settled in, it was time for the exciting part — sampling the wide variety of flavors on hand. Whether you’re into aged rums, spiced concoctions, or perhaps something on the sweeter side, there’s no shortage of options that cater to every palate. You’ll want to check out their vanilla and pineapple flavors for a sweet twist, or why not finish your tasting journey with a refreshing splash of silver agave? It’s like a little party in your mouth, and trust me, you won’t want to miss it!
The Perfect Winter Cocktail
As if that wasn’t enough, New South has crafted some truly magical cocktails that are the perfect companion for your winter adventures. Feeling drained from holiday activities? Try their irresistible Espresso Martini featuring a blend of silver rum, ghost cream, cold brew coffee, and chocolate bitters. This cocktail will whisk you away from the party fatigue and provide that much-needed boost!
But the festivity doesn’t stop there. If you’re looking for a drink to evoke the spirit of the season, don’t miss their audacious winter cocktail: a delightful mix of Blue Weber agave, orange peel, whiskey, orange bitters, and cinnamon. Served over a large ice cube and adorned with a cinnamon stick, each sip feels like a warm hug on a cold night, easing those winter blues!
