Clink, clink. We’d like to make a toast.

This summer — Monday, July 22-Friday, July 26 — we’ll be raising a glass to Drink Up Week, a celebration of entrepreneurs, mixologists, venues, and beverages across our buzzy city.

From coffee, tea, and smoothies to wine, craft beer, and specialty cocktails and mocktails — we’ll be covering it all in hopes of showcasing the Alamo City’s vibrant drink culture.

Now, this is where you come in.

If you own a local beverage business or know someone who does, celebrate Drink Up Week with us by offering a fun drink deal or two to our readers — say 50% off margaritas, BOGO smoothies, or 20% off a beer flight (mix it up, we’re open to ideas). Drop your deal into this form by Friday, June 28 and our local City Editors will include it in an interactive map of all the deals happening during Drink Up Week. There’s no charge to submit deals.

We’ll also highlight a few of the can’t-miss drink deals here in our newsletter. Want to make sure your drink special makes it in? You can guarantee inclusion by purchasing a paid content package.

Meanwhile, if you’re a reader who wants to experience San Antonio through Drink Up Week, sip tight. Before Drink Up rolls around, we’ll be working hard to pull together a list of local drink deals and fun stories about our city’s drink scene.

We want to know — is there a local business you’d love to see participate in Drink Up Week? Forward this newsletter to them and tell them we’d love it if they joined us.

News Notes

Today Is

Memorial Day, honoring US military personnel who died in the line of duty. It is a federal holiday, meaning civic offices, most state offices, banks, and public libraries will be closed. Observe the day at these eight military memorials.

Concert

City Editor Nicholas caught up with the Houston-based band Vortxz (pronounced “vortex”) at Santikos’ Palladium movie theater last week. Check out the Instagram Reel to learn when they’re coming back to the Alamo City. Spoiler alert: You won’t have to wait long.

Watch

The Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Laon in France hosted DJ Michael Canitrot accompanied by a light projection show on the building. Did you know you can see a similar show downtown? Catch “The Saga” tomorrow night at San Fernando Cathedral at 9 p.m. Can we get Zedd to play a set?

Family

Six Flags Fiesta Texas is now open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Because today is Memorial Day, the park is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Daily tickets start at $39.

Job

Community health workers help people and our community achieve whole health + wellbeing. Metro Health connects applicants with resources to be trained for this one-of-a-kind workforce. More than a job, start a career in public health as a community health worker and make a difference in San Antonio — learn more.*

Finance

Need a new couch thanks to your dogs? Had an unexpected spring cleaning injury? Said “drinks on me” too loudly in Bar America? These four credit cards offer 0% intro APR for up to 18 months — aka nearly two years of no interest charges for when life piles up.*

Wellness

Don’t let summer heat drain you. One scoop of Native Hydrate electrolyte drink mix = increased energy levels, improved muscle strength, and improved bladder function all season long.*

The Buy

Summer snacks. Pack the cooler with our favorite beach + pool snacks to satisfy your cravings while soaking up the sun.

The Wrap

From the editor

If y’all haven’t tried Sodamigo in Stone Oak then you’re missing out. It’s an SATX-owned soda shop where you can order from a menu or customize your own drink. I recommend sipping the Chupacabra. Try it during Drink Up Week.
