ASHEVILLE – Don’t let the summer heat get you down. Local restaurants and bars are serving spiritous pick-me-ups to help guests stay cool this season.
Lighter, refreshing drinks are what guests are thirsting for during the high-temperature months, said Liam Belle, bartender at The Odd.
“Typically, during winter, people will drink the heavier stuff such as bourbon,” Belle said. “Transitioning into warmer weather, I see a lot of people going toward gin and even rum, like mojito-style.”
The expert hands of Asheville’s beverage industry have followed suit and curated menus aimed to capture the eye and stimulate the taste buds.
