Local Cocktail: The Pinckney Island

Inspired by the enterprising big city bartenders who created iconic New York-centric cocktails (like the classic Manhattan), spirits specialist and writer-at-large Terry Cermak created a series of local cocktails to celebrate Hilton Head landmarks, events and founding fathers for LOCAL Life and Rollers Wine & Spirits. This month’s cocktail is The Pinckney Island. Much of Hilton Head’s history is reflected in Pickney Island’s breathtaking journey from cotton plantation to hunting retreat to national wildlife refuge.
