Best of Charleston 2012
Best Straight Shot
Housemade Cinnamon Whiskey at the Royal American
By Susan Cohen Follow @susancohenStaff Pick
At some point or another, we've bought ourselves or our good friends or, late enough into the night, complete strangers a shot of Fireball cinnamon whiskey. But when you can, you should always buy local, and at the Royal American, they serve up their own housemade version in a tiny plastic cup. We only imagine this is what unicorn tears taste like; it's sweet but a little sparkly and smooth enough to sip on. For $3 a pop, order it on the rocks and sip it, or just take it and chase it with a cheap domestic draught. The funny thing is, because it's housemade, on different nights it never quite tastes the same.
