@potterscraftcider Grapefruit Hibiscus Dry Cider 🍎 is a perfect combo with the hot sun 🌞 and cool breeze 💨🍂🕺🏽. Plus we have @bitterlucknexttime showcasing a little wine tasting in @perroblancomezcaleria - we try to share his posts to our story but it won’t let us. Something in the settings. #somanysettings

Ok, we’re late in posting this but we’ve gotta let our Negroni Raffle Winners know to come grab their goodies! 1) George 2) Amanda and 3) Nicole are the thirsty winners - we got their phone numbers so we’ll ring them and give them a big fat lucky winner hello! We’ve got some serious level ups for your home bar. In regard to the charitable donation, give yourselves a huge pat on the back as we sold 410 Negronis! We crushed last years number of 253 and we’re super pumped to have shared so many cocktails during Negroni Week. Thanks to you, we donated $1.61 for every Negroni sold to the @leeinitiative helping underserved areas throughout the South with culinary education, community kitchens and Covid relief. YAY! 🤠 Making it happen 💃 #negroniweek2021 @imbibe @campariusa

Negroni is a way of life. Come toast away the summer with us. Ten bittersweet combos from @bitterlucknexttime - who can say which one is best, try them all! We also will have a non-alcoholic Negroni for those who still want to play but need to pass on the alcohol. Remember this fun loving week of charity started by @Imbibe Magazine and @CampariUSA is such a great time for us to taste the rainbow and give back. TOAST is supporting the great work of the @LEEinitiative which has programs throughout the South to get many underserved communities leveled up with food service support and education. #negroniweek #negroniweek2021 #negroniloversdoitbetter
