Expensive but awesome local drink started at Ranch 616 and served at Rattle Inn and a few other establishments

Hornitos Reposado, Citronge and lime juice on the rocks served with a Topo Chico mineral water

New classic invented in Austin

Trudy’s and Cedar Door both lay claim to inventing the drink. Trudy’s is the better of the two. Any fine establishment in Austin will serve the cocktail.

2 oz tequila, 1 oz Cointreau, 1 oz lime juice, 1 oz orange juice, 1 splash Sprite, 1 splash olive juice

Pour all ingredients into a large cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake and strain into a large cocktail/martini glass (8+ ounces) with a salt rim. Add two olives on a spear and a slice of lime and serve.

Shot out of a jalapeño at Ranch 616

Starts with a freshly-cored jalapeño filled with Tito’s Vodka, Paula’s Orange and fresh lime juice with a Lone Star or Coronita chaser.

Bartenders on West 6th will know what you are ordering. On the East Side they will look at you like you are crazy.

I am still not 100% on the ingredients but this is my best guess.

Red Bull
Bacardi O Rum
Splash of Orange Juice

Started at Kung Fu, this shot includes equal parts pickle juice and tito’s vodka

If you like spice add a dash of tabasco
