Firefly Distillery stakes its claim as the birthplace of Sweet Tea Vodka, and the tasting room delivers on that legacy with over 30 spirits spanning vodkas, moonshine, bourbon, and rum. Cocktails like the Firefly Fizz and Lowcountry Lemonade put the flagship vodka to work. Standard and deluxe tastings offer a structured way to sample the range.
- What should I order?
