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 San Antonio go ‘round.

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

City Editor Nicholas is going for the BOGO (of equal or lesser value) drinks at Sodamigo. Here’s his go-to soda sip: The Chupacabra. It’s made with Big Red, blue raspberry, and coconut.

City Editor Adriana can’t wait for the buy one bottle of wine, get the second bottle 50% off deal at Oak & Saint. Not in the mood for wine? It’s also offering a caffeine deal: Buy a matcha + cold brew, get one of them 50% off with your choice of vanilla or lavender cold foam.
