Durham cocktail bar is raising funds for Maui relief. Here’s how you can help.
One of the Triangle’s top cocktail bars is raising money for Maui relief with one of its most popular summer cocktails.
The Durham bar Alley Twenty Six will donate $3 from every Island Relief cocktail sold from now until Sept. 10, with funds going to the Hawaii Community Foundation.
The fundraiser is in response to devastating wildfire’s on the Hawaiian island of Maui earlier this month, which burned more than 2,100 acres and killed 115 people, according to the latest reporting in the New York Times.
Alley Twenty Six is one of the Triangle’s most acclaimed cocktail bars and the only one to earn a prestigious James Beard nomination for its beverage program.
The bar annually spends the summer serving a tropical themed cocktail menu under its “Islands in the Alley” series.
The Island Relief drink is made of white rum, pineapple, banana, orange, lime and Angostura bitters, served in a clear pineapple shaped glass.
Direct donations to Maui relief can be made at hawaiicommunityfoundation.org.
