Hi! I’m Elise, a food writer and photographer in Charleston, South Carolina
If you’re planning a trip to Charleston, South Carolina, let me be your personal food guide! A little bit about me: I’ve lived in Charleston, South Carolina since 2014 and have been actively involved in the food community ever since.

Not only do I love to explore Charleston restaurants from a diner’s perspective, but I’m also a food writer for Charleston City Paper, Charleston Living Magazine, and Mashed, so I usually have the inside scoop.

Y’all know I love a cocktail, but lately the hangovers have been getting worse and worse. I’ve been trying out Delta-8 products recently because in my personal experience it gives me a light buzz that is really enjoyable. When I saw that there was a Delta-8 infused seltzer, I had to give it a try. This seltzer is great for mixing because it doesn’t have a strong flavor on its own, so it is super adaptable for whatever you want to put in it. Check out the recipe below and if you want more information on Delta-8, head to LOKI’s website.

Taylor Swift has blessed us with two albums this year and I am here for it. Her style of music has changed over the years, but I feel like she always has a song for what I need in the moment. The song “champagne problems” has to be one of my favorites on her new album evermore. It inspired me to create a champagne cocktail and I was especially excited to create yet another double booze cocktail and create a unique twist to the classic French 75 cocktail.
