While we often stick to the downtown Greenville area for our cocktailin’ excursions, we try to be mindful of spreading the love far and wide. We are fortunate to have many amazing drinkin’ holes in “Greater Greenville.” One such spot is in Greer Station, the quaint, idyllic, brick-lined and bustling area of downtown Greer. Casually fine, SELECT restaurant is relaxed, hip and happening, a treasure smack in the middle of Greer’s many jewels.

SELECTives…

The team behind the bar works their magic to create just the right libation to set the mood. With their spin on the classics (old fashioned, Sazerac, negroni…) along with a few surprises (Zoot Suit, Brown Derby, Bees Knees), they won’t disappoint! Of course, we sipped a few to give you a preview…

Rosie’s Old Fashioned…

Here’s a solution if you forgot to get her flowers -- maybe two to sweeten the deal! Makers Mark Private Label, orange bitters and angostura bitters will have the heartstrings singing while the flamed orange twist will keep the burn going -- in the best way possible. Let this classic remind you that being old-fashioned can be a good thing.

The Last Word…

This delightful beverage is comprised of Castle and Key Harvest Gin, green Chartreuse, fresh lime and a tart cherry liqueur that combine in the most flavorful way. It’s a truly divine combination that warms the heart while the gin’s Kentucky botanicals will have you craving more. Let this also be a gentle reminder to always let her have The Last Word -- just sayin’.

The Zoot Suit…

An ode to an epic era and a famed fashion moment, this drink really makes its mark. A mix of Willett Family Estate Rye, Aperol (not just a summertime ingredient) and a few creative and very special ingredients are presented in a complex, beautifully enhanced cocktail that is unique in every way. Perhaps a better term would be “one of a kind,” just like your Valentine!

A romantic rendezvous…

Surprise your sweetie with a get-(not-so-far)-away Valentine’s dinner and drinks at this cozy spot! With a plethora of options on the menu from land and sea, there’s something to suit all tastes. You can find your thrill with the “Blueberry Hill” starter, then move on along the “path to fulfillment” with a variety of entrees from ribeye to sockeye … and everything in between.
