Come Sip Some Sweet Tea Vodka

Travel 30 miles south of Charleston, and you'll reach quiter surroundings and a slower pace of life in Wadmalaw, SC. When you get there, you may want something to drink, and that is where Firefly Distillery comes in. Firefly produces a line of vodka products, including local favorite Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka, which burst onto the scene in April, 2008, as well as flavored moonshine, dessert spirits, and bourbon. Visit the distillery for a taste of sweet tea or a variety of other Firefly spirit flavors.

There was quite a build up to the last 36 hours of wintry wonder here in the Lowcountry. Gas tanks were filled. Folks checked their stock of batteries and bought firewood, bottled water, bread, and milk (though I've never understood why one buys milk when they expect the power is going to go out). Jim Cantore of the Weather Channel arrived. Social media went nuts. People created hashtags like #Snowmageddon, #SnowMyGosh, and #SnO-M-G, when really ones like #IceIceBaby would have been more appropriate. Charleston closed schools before the first drop of precipitation arrived and sent her workers home early. And then we waited. It was probably a good idea.
