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 Charleston go ‘round.

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

City Editor Erika is excited about half-priced bottles of wine at Iron Rose this Thursday evening. There will also be live music, which will make the perfect wine down, post-work activity.

City Editor Callie can’t wait for the $12 Laloma cocktail she’s going to snag at Bumpa’s — it includes tequila, grapefruit juice, lime, simple syrup, and soda. It will pair great with the Carolina Fries and girls night out.

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