Cheers, Greenvillians. It’s officially time to celebrate #DrinkUpGreenville . From cold craft brews to cocktails, we’re honoring our beverage community this month.
Here’s where we’re celebrating:
Indaco , 40 W Broad St., Greenville
Stop by one of Greenville’s newest restaurants to sip on the “Go Compresa on the Plane” — made with Elijah Craig, strawberry-infused Aperol, house-made strawberry vinaigrette, Montenegro, and basil.
Lewis Barbecue , 214 Rutherford St., Greenville
This Texas-style barbecue spot just dropped a new summer cocktail — the “Drink Up Julep” is a twist on Lewis’ “Smoky Peach Julep” filled with SC peaches.
