Charleston loves a good cocktail, and this town isn't lacking in options of where to find one. While most imbibers have their go-to tavern, it's always fun to try something new. Eater has round up a Heatmap of hot new bars (there weren't many this year), renovated drink menus, and exciting liquor combinations that may have slipped by the radar the first time they were released. It may only be Monday, but that's just as good as any other excuse to cheers in the week with a novel adult beverage. And, as always, if someone was overlooked, let us know. This list is presented in alphabetical order.
