I’m maybe a bit more excited than one should be about a cocktail recipe but when I stumbled upon The Cookie Rookie’s “Pumpkin Spice White Russian Cocktail”, I knew exactly what this month’s prize would be: a cocktail kit put together for you, by me, including everything you need to craft this cocktail beauty at home.
Obviously, you must be 21+ to be eligible to win, a local resident (so I can porch drop your winnings), and… get your name in the hat (by entering here) by Monday, Oct. 31, at 11:59 p.m. Good luck, cocktailians! 🎃
Get Out and Enjoy Jazz in the Square on Thursday Evening
Yes, that’s right! Raleigh Weekend is coming to you a day early this week because there are two Thursday evening happenings I didn’t want to miss sharing with you. The first—Jazz in the Square—is a free concert series featuring live jazz performances by local musicians in Moore Square on select Thursdays, 6-8 p.m.
This Downtown Raleigh event features food trucks on-site and wine and beer for sale, so grab your blankets, chairs, and picnic baskets for an evening of great music under what looks to be a perfectly cool fall evening under the night sky.
Another Thursday Winner… History and Highballs: The Ghost Guild: The Roads Less Traveled
Stay in, pour a classic cocktail, and Zoom in for “History and Highballs” with the North Carolina Museum of History! I began tuning into many of these virtual happenings during the pandemic days when we couldn’t get out and about and I’m glad they’re a Zoom tradition that has stuck around. 🥃
This week, buckle up as The Ghost Guild takes you on an otherworldly journey around North Carolina on the roads less traveled. Learn about the more obscure legends of the Old North State, just in time for Halloween!
