It’s 6 p.m., you’re done with work, and your porch is beckoning. Now, what to drink?

As much as we love a glass of red wine or a full-bodied stout, the SC heat tends to drive our drink tastes elsewhere come summer – so we asked the local experts at Bottles what they recommend.

Here are 7 popular, easy-drinking bevs that are perfect for summer + available now at Bottles through in-person shopping (with employees on-hand to offer additional customized recommendations), call/email-ahead order, and curbside pickup:

For beer drinkers 🍺

Recommendation: New Sarum Brewing Company's Netflix and Dill
The deets: This savory, briny concoction is a sour that tastes like a pickle.
Another round: Here are 8 more summer beers to try.

For wine lovers 🍷

Recommendations: Vinho Verde, sparkling wines + spritzers
The deets: Try Arca Nova Vinho Verde + Besson Rose Granit, both available at Bottles.
Another round: You can’t go wrong with rosé.

For cocktail connoisseurs 🍸

Recommendation: Post Meridiem canned cocktails
The deets: Flavors include Margarita, Daiquiri, Gimlet, Old Fashioned + Mai Tai – no mixing necessary.
Another round: We recommend pouring into a glass + adding your own garnish.

For seltzer fans 💧

Recommendations: Basic Hard Seltzer + PRESS Hard Seltzer
Sip on this: DYK? Since 2018, hard seltzer sales have skyrocketed. (We may have contributed to this.)
Another round: Keep an eye out for sales on variety packs.
