WANT

Where to buy? Online? In NC newhere?

8/7/2008 12:04:53 AM

do you mix it with bojangles tea?

8/7/2008 12:08:04 AM

sounds gross

don't be gross

8/7/2008 12:08:47 AM

Defined:

Made and sold in SC, and a very few other places.... never seen it in NC (yet) - Charleston based

Problem: Half vodka, half water, add a little ice & tastes like you're drinking an every day sweet tea. Half vodka, half lemonade.... hold onto your pants - sister.
Aproximately 7 sips in, you seem to gather that you feel a bit loopy. Aproximately 13 sips in, you stop caring that you feel a bit loopy. Somewhere about sip 23 you're plotting who is going to SC next, and how you can 'score' this tasty bit of heaven.

No taste of alcohol = trouble

8/7/2008 12:16:31 AM

Yeah, I went to their website, but I was hoping that someone might now a secret to NC procurement.

*is a sucker for anything new and different*

8/7/2008 12:22:35 AM

hmmm, i have a friend at University of Charleston. perhaps it's time for a phone call.

8/7/2008 12:23:23 AM

I wonder if it's sold in the border towns, like Fort Rock Mill Hill

8/7/2008 12:24:26 AM

and i :heart: muscadine wine.

8/7/2008 12:28:25 AM

It gives you a list on the website of everywhere in SC it is sold, but I didn't see any right over the border.

I DID find on NC's ABC main page a 'holiday' list effective 8-1-08 that included it - here's to the hope that wake co will get it.

Come on internet friends, find us the answer!!

"Spirituous liquor products that are not listed on the approved state price listing may be special ordered. A Spirituous Liquor Special Order is made when a customer visits a local ABC store and requests to purchase one or more cases of spirituous liquor. The local ABC store then makes a request to the ABC Commission. The Commission contacts the vendor for the price(s) and advises the local board, who then advises the customer.

A Spirituous Liquor Special Order must be prepaid by the customer to the local ABC Board, which places the order with the Commission. The Commission transmits the Special Order to the supplier who then ships the order to the State Warehouse in Raleigh for delivery to the local board and the customer. "

It appears you can special order a case from the ABC store.

holy crap, apparently firefly vodka is actually distilled in florida because it only costs $800 per year for state taxes (i guess a kind of sin tax), while south carolina charges $50,000 every two years that must be paid up front north carolina also charges only $800.

i did some searching for release dates but all i got was "coming soon".

8/7/2008 12:43:33 AM

haha, this reminds me of being in highschool and mixing vodka w/ bojangles sweet tea and coming to the awesome realization that you couldnt even taste the vodka and would get completely shit-faced

8/7/2008 1:07:04 AM

yeah... in the wee early days of my alcohol consumption i was at a party at a friends house who's parents were home and cool with it, but didn't want people under 21 to drink (i was like 15). so i obliged but then saw a lonely bottle of jim bean on the table. i poured a generous amount into my drink, which happened to be a cappuccino. it was quite awful. so stupid.

8/7/2008 1:22:34 AM

I brought back a gratuitous amount of Firefly last time I was in Charleston but unfortunately it goes down so easy that two days at the pool polished every bit of it off......but those were two loopy days, if anyone goes to Charleston any time soon I will gladly pay you $10 a bottle on top of the price of the Firefly to bring me back some

8/7/2008 1:27:26 AM

Nice...know the people who came up with this stuff.


The demand is so ridiculous in Charleston that they just "outsourced" some production to a place in Florida. They were putting limits on the amounts of bottles bars could order this stuff in Charleston. They are looking for space to expand production in Charleston and they are trying to introduce a peach tea vodka among a couple other flavors.

The Sweat Tea Vodka saved this company. The original Firefly vodka was pure shit. But the sweat tea vodka is just going nuts. I sent five bottles to my buddy in Charlottesville the other day.

See this thread:

Srsly, this stuff is amazing. Learned of it only a week after moving here- and if I ever buy liquor, that's what I get.

8/18/2008 4:35:01 PM

OMG HOW DID I MISS THIS THREAD!?


GOD I LOVE THIS SHIT.

Ha ha...No kidding. If you want a boat full of passed out chicks just grab a few bottles of this. It worked with Jager.

8/18/2008 5:38:08 PM

anybody coming to New Orleans, and wanna bring some this way?

I'm intrigued by this

8/18/2008 5:41:24 PM

what? so watered-down vodka on ice tastes like sweet tea now? OK

8/18/2008 5:51:43 PM

so how do I tell if this is available in Wilmington without going to an ABC store?

8/18/2008 5:55:19 PM

It isn't available anywhere in NC yet (except Charlotte - for now), BUT if you go to the county ABC board (Wake county's is on Wicker Drive, b/w whittiker & hodges) you can pre-pay for a case (12) and they will special order & deliver to any ABC store you choose.

In NC, it is $22/bottle

8/18/2008 6:05:56 PM

by calling the ABC store



and im going to act all pretentious and special about this now because i had it before it started getting popular


but on a serious note, a Fifth of Firefly and a bottle of simply lemonade will get you where you wanna go

8/18/2008 6:08:02 PM

And to the Lake Norman guys up there ^.... I grew up there, and cannot imagine having something like this on a hot day out on the lake.... I'd have been passed out by noon.

damn they are def. taking a cut. abc stores should be illegal.

8/18/2008 6:24:00 PM

Cost to NC is published...
http://www.ncabc.com/pricing/view_item.aspx?filing=39400
They're making about $125 per case on it, in NC - Through the ABC



In SC, it's $16-18 in most places, but different stores sell at different rates.

Statewide in NC it will be $21.95

8/18/2008 6:28:48 PM

They now have it on the shelves at the ABC across from Triangle Town (Sears Auto side) on Old Wake Forest


You're welcome

8/22/2008 8:39:49 PM

hmmm....might have to look into this

8/22/2008 8:52:59 PM

i have some right now, i also have lemonade to mix it with


ps, have you noticed that every bottle has a slightly different amount in it? talk about some quality control.

8/22/2008 8:56:48 PM

They're selling Firefly at the Cameron Village ABC store now, but the last shipment they got sold out in a few hours

8/29/2008 8:29:08 PM

will definitely have to look into this.

8/29/2008 8:33:26 PM

so................this is sweet tea flavored vodka?

no thanks

8/30/2008 6:08:23 AM

that sounds really good with lemonade. like a tom arnold, but all special-like.
peach tea would be interesting, idk about the muscadine though.

definitely need to get some of this stuff.
