Mark your calendars, because you don’t want to miss these deliciously fun culinary happenings:

Coltivare, 3320 White Oak, is ready to celebrate Dry January with its month-long, zero-proof cocktail menu. This year, the beverage team has curated an all-new menu in collaboration with Sipple, with drinks including The Perfect Storm (like a Dark & Stormy) and the Not & Tonic, a non-alcholic riff on the restaurant’s popular Gin & Tonic made with elderflower tonic, grapefruit, mint and green peppercorn.

URBE, 1101 Uptown Park, is commemorating El Día de Los Tres Magos, or Three Kings Day (January 6), by making Rosca de Reyes, a traditional Mexican bread in the shape of a ring or crown. Guests can choose from three sizes: personal for $4.50, 8x10 for $20 nad 10x20 for $40. The personal size cakes are available daily at the restaurant until January 8, and orders for the larger sizes can be made by calling 713-726-8273 with two days lead time.
