In this episode, the Swanky Straw team visits The Cabin in Davidson, a relaxed waterfront gathering place with beautiful lake views and something happening throughout the week. From mahjong and euchre to karaoke, sports, and live music Thursday through Sunday, The Cabin offers plenty of reasons to stop by—or simply settle into a rocking chair, enjoy a refreshing drink, and take in the scenery.
Bartender Savannah introduces the ladies to three distinctive cocktails: a Brown Sugar Cinnamon Espresso Old Fashioned, a fresh Grapefruit Basil cocktail, and a beautifully layered Lavender Sour. Along the way, she shares the ingredients, techniques, and special touches that bring each creation to life. After a few enthusiastic taste tests—and some difficult decisions about their favorites—the Swanky Straw team agrees: with creative cocktails, a welcoming atmosphere, and one of the best waterfront views around, The Cabin is definitely worth the pour.
Worth the Pour is an original LKNConnect video series featuring the Swanky Straw Trio as they explore the cocktails, mocktails, local flavors and personalities shaping the Lake Norman beverage scene. From neighborhood favorites to unexpected discoveries, each episode goes behind the bar to meet the people, hear the stories and uncover the creativity that makes every featured pour worth experiencing.
