The Watch Rooftop Kitchen & Spirits | The Restoration Hotel, 75 Wentworth St.

Take in the quintessential Charleston skyline view at this rooftop restaurant with a zero-proof drink in hand. We’ve got our eyes on the Slowburn Marg featuring Slowburn bonbuz, grapefruit, jalapeno, and lime.

Little Palm | The Ryder, 237 Meeting St.

Order a Bartender’s Choice to spice up your mocktail game or play it safe with a Shallow End, featuring Seedlip Grove 42 with citrus flavors, fresh berries, lime, and seltzer for that refreshing taste.
