We Set the Bar with Bottom Line Pricing on Spirits: It's Worth the Trip!
Frugal's liquor buyers work to get you the best price around. How do we do it? We buy in huge volumes and work on the slimmest of margins. Because we price so low, we cannot offer any further discounts on any liquors or liqueurs, regardless of quantity.

New Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka
For Iced Tea, Long Island is Out, Charleston is In!
Firefly Vodka is located on Wadmalaw Island, 30 miles South of Charleston, South Carolina. Firefly is lighting up clubs from Las Vegas to New York with their fresh new take on an old southern classic: Sweet Iced Tea.
Firefly Sweet Tea is a "liquored up" version of that southern favorite. Keeping with the southern theme, Firefly distillery produces small batches of their own vodka in a pot still, made from fermented South Carolina estate grown muscadine grapes. After 5 distillations, the result is a very clean vodka. Next they infuse it with locally grown tea, and finally, they sweeten it with Louisiana sugar cane.
Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka $16.99 /750 ml. $21.99 /1 Liter.
By all accounts, this is some really good stuff. It's not easy to find, and is selling briskly. You might put a bottle in the freezer and serve shots, or put it on the rocks, but we recommend these drinks that have evolved within the Charleston club scene since Firefly Sweet Tea was introduced.

Jack Daniel's Introduces New Master Distiller Jeff Arnett
Jeff Arnett has just been named the seventh Master Distiller for Jack Daniel's, following the retirement of Jimmy Bedford. Bedford has made frequent appearances at Frugal MacDoogal's, taking time to meet the public and autograph bottles. We expect to see Jeff Arnett soon at Frugal's.
Jack Daniel's is also introducing the fifth in the "Scenes from Lynchburg" collector bottles.
Did you know the difference between Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whisky and Bourbon? They are both made from a sour mash of corn and other grains, both distilled in a similar way, but Jack Daniel's is filtered through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal. The charcoal is specially made from hand selected sugar maple trees and the filtering is a slow proprietary process. The result is a unique and mellower flavor. By law, if it's called bourbon, it cannot be filtered this way, so Jack calls it Tennessee Whisky. Jack Daniel's Scenes from Lynchburg $28.99 /750 ml. We have the new "Scene Five", as well as Scenes Two, Three and Four in stock now. Jack Daniel's Old #7 Black Label $37.99 /1.75 Liter. Jack Daniel's Single Barrel $38.99 /750 ml. We go down to Lynchburg several times each year and pick out our own "Single Barrel" that no one else has for sale. Each new barrel has it's own personality. Jack Daniel's Collector's Bottle "1981" $32.99 /750 ml. Jack Daniel's 750 ml. gift set with 2 logo rocks glasses $20.99 /750 ml. Even the packaging is classic Jack.
