Spring has officially arrived, and we have some incredible news to celebrate the season: Wye Hill Kitchen & Brewing has been featured in Forbes yet again!

In her latest seasonal roundup, 10 Perfect Cocktails To Enjoy This Easter, national food and beverage journalist Aly Walansky highlighted Wye Hill as a premier destination for spring sipping. If you are looking for the absolute best Easter cocktails in Raleigh to welcome the sunshine and freshness of the season, our brand-new cocktail is stealing the spotlight.

Introducing: “A Joyous Thing”

Our featured drink, A Joyous Thing, was crafted specifically to bring a touch of whimsy to your spring celebrations. It’s a perfectly well-rounded, velvety cocktail that balances light sweetness with sophisticated earthiness.

Here is what our talented bar team shakes up inside the glass:

  • London Dry Gin & Lillet Blanc for soft, elegant botanical notes.

  • D.O.M Benedictine for complex, honeyed depth.

  • Green Tea & Butterfly Pea Tea for subtle earthiness and structure.

  • Lychee Syrup & Fresh Lemon Juice for brightness and light sweetness.

  • Egg Whites to round it out with a smooth, velvety texture.

“A Joyous Thing is an ethereal ode to the Easter season’s joy and whimsy… The brightness of lemon and light sweetness of lychee, balanced by the subtle earthiness and structure of green tea, soft botanicals of gin and Lillet, and complex honeyed notes of Benedictine. Egg whites (pretty appropriate for the holiday) add a rounded, velvety element.”Melanie Wiesen, Bar Manager
