Join Us for Old Fashioned Week 2021

We’re excited to celebrate another Old Fashioned Week with you at all three of our locations from Friday, October 15, 2021, through Sunday, October 24, 2021. Elijah Craig Old Fashioned Week is an annual celebration of this classic Bourbon cocktail, featuring events in bars and online. Together, we’re raising a glass and some funds for a great cause. 

Raise a Glass. Lift Up Bars.

The hospitality industry is still recovering from many months of closures. This year, Elijah Craig will once again be raising funds to support the Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation. You can support this cause in one of two ways, by supporting your local bars participating, like Dram & Draught, or sharing on social media. All you have to do is upload a photo or video of your Old Fashioned to Instagram using the hashtag #OldFashionedWeek and tag @ElijahCraig and they’ll donate $5 to the RWCF.

Dram & Draught will be donating $2 from each Old Fashioned sold October 15, 2021, through October 24, 2021, to the Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation. A minimum of $200 will be donated on behalf of Dram. Take a look at the cocktails we’ll be serving at each of our locations. We can’t wait for you to give them a try!
