Sipping a martini or a Manhattan is often as satisfying as wearing a go-to little black dress or a tried-and-tested suit. Cocktails, like garb, can be refined and dependable, elegant and uplifting. And pairing your favorite spirit with a sharp look? Now that’s a match made in heaven.
Take it up a notch by trading the Old Fashioned and old faithful for a new pairing this April. The Top Cocktail contest presented by Greenville Fashion Week features fashion-inspired cocktails at participating locations—like the CoCo Blush at Halls Chophouse Greenville or The Fashion Bee-Sta at Soby’s—worthy of a fresh look.
Have a taste and cast your vote for the winner from April 1–18 by visiting participating Greenville locations and ordering their fashionable cocktail. It’s a great way to get a head start on glamorous Greenville Fashion Week festivities, including the Kick Off Party and runway shows, from April 19–22.
