Friday Five: If You Like Piña Coladas… You Are in the Right Place
???? “If you like piña coladas and gettin’ caught in the rain” ☔… Raleigh is the place for you! This month, the Raleigh Weekend team is putting all our eggs in one basket—and those eggs come in the form of delicious cocktails to help cool you off this summer. Our friends at Raleigh Magazine got things started with a great list of summer slushies and where to find them. Read that first, then come back to check out a few of our favorite places for frozen cocktails.
We hope you have dried off from yesterday’s weather and are ready to venture out because it’s time for your Friday Five!
But First… Where Are You Drinking This Summer? ????
We are always telling you about our favorite places to grab a drink, and now it is your turn! This month, we want to send a lucky winner a $25 gift card to their favorite Raleigh watering hole.
Before the Cocktails… Asali Desserts & Cafe and Sassool Are Teaming Up
We know, we know, we promised frozen cocktails. Don’t worry, they are coming. However, before we dive into the concoctions, we have to tell you about an event you are not going to want to miss. Enjoy a dinner for two inspired by culture and traditional flavors, and get to know the faces behind the food at Asali Desserts & Cafe and Sassool on Saturday, July 17. The meal will be made up of an entrée, and salad provided by Sassool, and a crafted beverage and dessert provided by Asali.
Bittersweet Had Us at Mexican Coke Slushy…
Bittersweet said it best, “drinks are better with slushy ice.” Try the Strong Island made with Hendrick’s gin, Tito’s vodka, El Jimador tequila, Bacardi rum, house-made grenadine, sour mix, and Mexican Coke slushy.
Frosé All Day at Vita Vite ????????
This is one of those “if you know, you know” things. If you do not know, get to Vita Vite in Downtown Raleigh and order their strawberry frosé. You can thank us later.
