People’s Cocktail February 2019

Join us on Monday, February 18th, for the return of People’s Cocktail--a competitive cocktail fundraising event at Fox Liquor Bar.

The premise is simple: each of our bartenders will make a featured drink and pick a favorite charity. You, the people, come to drink, and we will donate the proceeds of the featured cocktails to the charity picked by the bartender with the most popular drink. That’s right, every drink you order equals one vote for that bartender’s charity.

But what good is competitive cocktailing without snacks? Joining us for a good cause is guest chef Teddy Diggs. He’ll be featuring a preview menu from his upcoming restaurant, Coronato, a Roman-style pizza spot opening in Carrboro later this year. Think rosemary and sea salt foccacia, fava falafel with herbs, lemon, and yogurt, and several pizza options to choose from (with all proceeds also going to the winning charity.)

Craft cocktails, craft Roman pizza, and a charitable cause… this is an event you can’t miss. Mark your calendars and head to Fox for this night of fun and good-hearted rivalry.

So Many New Cocktails, So Little Alcohol

We’ve just rung in the new year! Congratulations, you’ve made it through the holiday season (and all of those holiday splurges)! But now it’s time to get serious, and seriously healthy. Sound familiar? You’re not alone… millions of people dedicate their January to getting back to clean eating and healthier lifestyle choices. It just makes January seem... a little dull on the social front, right?

So we’ve crafted four featured non-alcoholic cocktails to make sure that you can have a great night out with friends, without ruining your carefully crafted health goals.

Elixir of Life

This highball is not only non-alcoholic, but sugar-free as well. Participating in Whole30? This drink is completely compliant.

Berried Ale

It drinks like a mule, but you’ll find no booze here: just ginger, lime, and raspberry syrup, then garnished with a mint sprig and a single raspberry!

Foxy Tonic

Another sugar-free mocktail for our Whole30/paleo pals, this drink combines rosemary, cucumber, lemon, cranberry, and Rishi peppermint-sage tea.

Apple of Eden

This tempting cocktail tastes like a splurge, but we assure you--there’s no alcohol here. Apples, orange juice, vanilla, lime, and coconut come together for a highly flavorful libation.


Passport To Giving!

We're always looking for ways to give back to our community, especially during this season of giving!

Our Passport to Giving campaign is a great way to support a very important cause--the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina--while you're out enjoying meals at our restaurants! We’ve created a special feature cocktail at Poole’s, Poole'side, Death & Taxes, Beasley’s, Chuck's, and Fox Liquor Bar; and $2 from each purchase of one of these cocktails will be donated to the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina—from now through December 31st. So every time you drink one of these cocktails, you’re effectively donating $2 to support feeding those affected by hunger in our state. How great is that!?

This year, each of our cocktail names has been inspired by a holiday flick. Here are the cocktails:

At Poole’s, try the Ya Filthy Animal, named forHome Alone, featuring gin, Montenegro, cranberry, rosemary, ginger, and lemon.

At Poole'side, try the You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out, named for A Christmas Story, featuring bourbon, roasted pecans, vanilla, cinnamon cherry clove bitters. 

At Beasley’s, try the Smiling Is My Favorite, named for Elf, featuring vodka, blackberry, thyme, lemon, sparkling wine.

At Chuck's, try the Yippee Ki Yay shake, named for Die Hard, a white chocolate peppermint milkshake with white rum. 

At Death & Taxes, try the Cousin Eddie, named for Christmas Vacation, featuring bourbon, Maker’s Mark, dry vermouth, Angostura and orange bitters.

At Fox Liquor Bar, try the Total Agony of Being In Love, named for Love Actually, featuring scotch, sweet vermouth, Cheerwine, and orange.

To maximize our impact as a community, we're organizing a self-guided bar crawl! Grab a Passport to Giving card (available at any of our restaurants) and get a stamp for each of the 6 cocktails you try. If you complete the full crawl and get all 6 stamps on your passport card, you can redeem your Passport to Giving card at Fox Liquor Bar for a complimentary snack--Milk and Chocolate Chip Cookies--our way of saying thanks for supporting our team efforts to raise money for the Food Bank! We'll also enter your name into a drawing to win a $250 gift card to the AC Restaurants location of your choice.

So start your engines! It's time to drink for a good cause!
