Savannah Distilling
While one local distillery has closed in the past year, there’s still another that you can buy in bars and your local liquor store.
Serving up sweet tea bourbon and Savannah vodka, Savannah Distilling has plenty of spirits to choose from if you’re looking for something local to add to your cocktails for today.
They do not have a brick-and-mortar location, but plenty of stores in the area carry them.
