A toast to the city: Charleston Cocktail Week kicks off April 21

For Charleston Cocktail Week, enjoy specialty cocktails and deals at 30+ local bars and restaurants through April 27.

 A refreshing cocktail served in a textured glass with a gradient effect, transitioning from a deep red at the bottom to a pale, frothy top. The drink is garnished with a dried lime wheel and a gold metal straw, placed on a sunlit white table with palm frond shadows.

We’ll take the Margarita de Francia from La Bonne Franquette, please.
