Want to support DRC AND have a yummy, fall beverage?! Check out our Campfire S'mores White Russian at Xe 54: a W**e & Cocktail Lounge! A portion of the proceeds from each one sold comes right back to DRC! A huge THANK YOU to Xe 54: a W**e & Cocktail Lounge for partnering with us! Cheers! 🥂 ✨

Fall officially starts at Xe54 today.🍂

Our full fall menu is here — which also means one of the cocktails you ask us about every year has finally made its return:

The Campfire S’mores White Russian.

And this October, we’re especially happy to bring it back as our Pay It Forward Cocktail of the Month, benefiting Dyslexia Reading Connection.

Dyslexia Reading Connection, Inc. is a Fox Valley nonprofit dedicated to providing evidence-based intervention for children and adults with dyslexia and dyscalculia. Through their programs, they help close literacy gaps, build confidence, and give students the skills they need to thrive in school, the workforce, and beyond.

Throughout October, a portion of the proceeds from every Campfire S’mores White Russian sold will go back to Dyslexia Reading Connection and the work they’re doing right here in our community.

So yes, the fall menu is officially here.
Yes, your Campfire S’mores White Russian is back.
And this month, enjoying one helps support something pretty meaningful, too.
