When you’re out and about this Graffiti Summer, one of the best ways to cool off and enjoy the day is with a refreshing cocktail. We are so excited to partner with local bars and restaurants to bring you custom and signature GRAFFITI SUMMER COCKTAILS!
Inspired by classic and vintage drinks and served with a local Americana twist, these drinks will be served throughout Graffiti Summer at some of your favorite places in town! We will be posting and highlighting where you can get these specials throughout the summer, but make sure to check out Skewers, Ralston’s Goat, Fuzio, The Boardroom, and Cheroot Lounge for these classic and original Graffiti Drinks. Note to all restaurants and bars, please feel free to print out these great treats and let people know you have the Graffiti Summer spirit! Vroom Vroom.
