@downtownraleigh’s @10thandterrace rooftop bar has turned its affinity for music and proximity to the @redhatamphitheater into one of the best things this summer—its newly launched Concerts & Cocktails.

Starting this Wednesday, the bar will begin a series of drinks inspired by nearby performances at the amphitheater.

Green River ($15), based on the popular 1969 @theofficialccr song of the same name, is a refreshing blend of Bacardi silver rum, DeLeón platinum tequila, honeydew-cucumber-apple oleo syrup with a lime and cucumber garnish.

On Wednesday, June 12, the rooftop bar will release the Pink Pony Club, the afternoon of the @chappellroan “Princess Tour.” The Pink Pony Club ($16) is made with Espolón reposado tequila, watermelon pucker, lime, hot bitters, Fee Brothers fee foam and a tajín rim.

The final drink of June comes courtesy of the American jam band from Wilton, Connecticut—Goose. Although the ingredients sound relatively simple, this drink packs a flavorful punch. The Goose Juice ($14) is an orange-infused Grey Goose (get it) vodka with house-made grenadine and lemon.

Water Safety and Free Swim Lessons in Wake County!

As the temperatures rise and the local pools open, it’s important to remain vigilant and safe around water. But thanks to increased awareness and programs like National Water Safety Month in May, free or reduced-fee swim lessons are available.

Please share this information with people or organizations you think might be interested.

“I interviewed Matara Hitchcock, Justice Theater Project’s executive producer, about their current production, Blank, on Monday, May 13. The show had been described as “a script riddled with blanks that leaves the audience in charge of how the story will unfold.”  It sounded like a theatrical version of MadLibs. I had questions.”

{See the full interview at the link in our bio, and check out The Justice Theater Project’s Blank at various locations around the Triangle through May 25.}
