Drink Up Week sponsored by AVA Rooftop Bar is finally here and we have a feeling it’ll be the toast of the town.

Here’s the tea — today through Friday, July 26, we’re celebrating the entrepreneurs, mixologists, venues, and beverages that make Raleigh go ‘round.

As you know, we’ve created an interactive map of can’t-miss deals offered by local businesses in Raleigh. Here are the top deals our RALtoday editors have their eyes on — and what they plan to pair with these drinks.

City Editor Danyale is going for the $11 Gin-U-Wine Botany cocktail at The Longleaf Hotel & Lounge. She’s dropping in on Monday night with her friends because it’s bingo night — and she’s pairing her drink with the menu’s French onion dip.

City Editor Allie can’t wait to grab a $10 Patio Pimm’pin cocktail from Whiskey Kitchen to enjoy on a nighttime sip ‘n’ stroll. This drink is sour + complex with white balsamic and strawberry basil syrup — yum.

We hope you enjoy sipping your way through our city this week. Cheers to you and happy Drink Up Week, Raleighites.
