During the month of July, COLAtoday will be celebrating our local beverage industry the best way we know how — through content.
From entrepreneurs to mixologists, unique coffee shops, fascinating local history + happy hour guides, we will shine a spotlight on the people and places that make our city’s beverage scene special.
Psst — this is where you come in:
We want to engage with local businesses interested in participating in our Drink Up initiative. Seriously, if you can drink it, we want to cover it.
Participation can look like:
- Creating a specialty drink like Blūm Coffee did last year with its “Cheerio” latte or Swiff’s Caramel Cookie Dough Freddo
- Being included in our local Happy Hour guide
- Hosting happy hour deals like Transmission Arcade did — just the mention of Drink Up during happy hour gave participants $1 worth of free game tokens with any drink purchase
- A Q+A with a mixologist
- Collaborating with local drink makers like Coa Agaveria y Cocina and As Well As to create wellness cocktails
Let’s just say, these businesses set the bar high last year.
