Toast of the town: Drink Up Week has arrived

This week — Monday, July 22-Friday, July 26, 2024 — we’re shining a spotlight on the vibrant drink scene in Lexington.

Drink Up Week 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 Lexington go ‘round.

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

City Editor Aayat is going for the key lime pie cocktail for $7 at Charlie Brown’s. She’s dropping in on Wednesday night with her friends for a cozy night on one of the couches — and of course she’s pairing her drink with a plate of hot pepper cheese.

City Editor Molly can’t wait to sip, shop, and make a candle with a $5 Sparkling Paloma in hand at Wick & Mortar Studio at Poppy & Pomelo.

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