Raleigh Best 12 Cocktail Bars Open Right Now - Eater Carolinas

"A staple in Raleigh’s craft cocktail scene, Foundation serves up both classic cocktails and seasonal creations in its speakeasy-like underground space. A highlight of the menu is the Old Fashioned list, with seven different takes on the popular cocktail. The Timeless Classics section of the menu is based on cocktail recipes from two cocktail books out of Asheville, Just Cocktails (published in 1939), and Here’s How (published in 1941) and include favorites like the whiskey sour, Tom Collins, and the daiquiri. The seasonal menu changes, well, seasonally, but there is also a selection of Foundation Classics, like the Krupnikas Flip (local Krupnikas spiced honey lqueur, Ezra Brooks bourbon, Larry’s Beans’ cold brew coffee, brown sugar, and an egg), first put on the menu in 2014." - Matt Lardie
