Each year, the Local Palate celebrates the South’s favorite spirit at the annual Whiskey After Dark. For our 2023 event, the publication partnered with Breakthru Beverage to bring the ambassador’s of world-class whiskey brands to Charleston. In addition to sampling pours of premium whiskey, three signature cocktail were designed for the event.
Inspired by the refreshing peachy goodness of a classic bellini, this cocktail combines the sweetness of peach with the warm, smoky flavors of bourbon and birch extract. Top the bourbon peach bellini with Mountain Valley Spring Water White Peach, for a refreshingly balanced cocktail.
