Speaking of summer cocktails, our friends at Killjoy are hosting a cocktail class every Wednesday night! Your favorite resident cocktail enthusiast, Kat Binkley, hosts a hands-on class featuring simple yet delicious summer drinks that anyone can easily make at home, after a little direction and lesson to send you confidently on your way.
Let Me Get a Go-Cup 🍻
It’s the news we have all been waiting for! Earlier this week, city leaders voted in favor of a “social district” to allow people to drink beer, wine, or cocktails in parts of Downtown Raleigh. Cheers to that!
Shopping, Food, and Live Music on Saturday
Head to Moore Square on Saturday, July 9, from 4 until 9 p.m. for Localista’s Summer Bazaar! 35+ local makers/artisans and small business owners will be selling clothing, jewelry, handcrafted items, artwork, ethnic goods, teas, spices, soaps, candles, fresh juices, henna, and more.
If You Can’t Take the Heat, Go to Someone Else’s Kitchen 🔥
That’s the saying, right? 😉 Throughout the month of July, one of our favorite restaurants is bringing the heat… in the kitchen! Don’t miss Midtown Grille’s sizzling summer specials on wine, Bar Bites, beer, burgers, and more.
It’s Game Time! 🎮
The Apex Legends Global Series Year Two Championship is underway at PNC Arena! Get your tickets to watch as 40 of the world’s best Apex Legends squads across five regions compete for the title of global champion—and a $2 million prize pool (!).
Friday Five: Wake Up, Wake Up, Wake Up, It’s the First Newsletter of the Month 😎
It’s a new month and we are heading into my favorite season! Who else is ready for sun, fun, and seasonal cocktails?! Speaking of seasonal cocktails, Killjoy has a new concoction that is sure to wake you up—the Coffee Break. The Coffee Break is made up of Espresso Vodka, Lavender-Hibiscus Infused Sweet Vermouth, Brown Sugar, and Topped with Alcohol-Infused Whip. All of these ingredients combine to make one delicious cocktail your taste buds will love and it will help fuel those late-night dance parties that are sure to happen this summer. Stop in this weekend to try one and grab your morning coffee right now—it’s time for your first Friday Five of the month!
But First… We Are Making Raleigh Spa Month a Thing
Why should Miami get to have all the fun!? We have so many great spas in the Triangle, so this month, we are going to be giving four lucky winners a $50 gift card to one of our favorite places to pamper!
Tired of Sleepy-Looking Eyelids?
If you can’t tell, the “summer slowdown” is already having an effect on me which is why I am kicking off Raleigh Spa Month with one of my favorites… Azura Skin Care Center in Cary. Yes, I know it is not in Raleigh, but it is worth the extra few-minute drive. They also have a new treatment that I am so excited about–Upneeq®–the only FDA-approved prescription eye drop indicated for the treatment of acquired blepharoptosis (low-lying lids) in adults. If your eyelids look “tired” or “droopy,” this treatment could be perfect for you.
