    Don Dario at Suerte

    Nice, Bryce at Odd Duck

    Electric Jellyfish is the best drink in town.

    Lonestar and a shot of espalone at Lost Well

  7. Surprised I haven’t seen Little Larry mentioned!

  8. I love the Oaxacan Wipeout at Taco Flats. How often do you get mezcal and absinthe in the same drink?

    El Cubico at La Condesa. Smoky and spicy and delicious.

    Oaxacan Wipeout at La Holly. Mezcal-y but approachable enough for those that aren’t typically mezcal drinkers. For whatever reason, I feel like Austin is a mezcal/sotol/tequila town and this is one of the most unique and tasty drinks if you’re a fan of any of those.

    I freaking adore Here Nor There, and their Whiskey Soda 2.0 is an incredible, unappreciated classic menu item there. Somehow it’s super light and clean, but has a bit of vanilla-y creaminess balanced by peat.

    Margaritas at enchilada y mas are $7.50 and get you rekt

  13. Most drinks at Tiki Tatsuya, my personal fave is the Pearl Diver

    A nice simple Tequila Old Fashioned at the Elephant Room works for me every time. I’m no connoisseur, but I think their well tequila is actually really good.

    Following closely is the Red Hook I make at home.

    It used to be the Milk Punch at Green Pastures

  16. Milk and Honey @ HNT is probably my favorite cocktail in the city at the moment.

    The best drink I’ve ever had here is The Pearlmother which was on an older menu at Garage Bar.

    Nickels Irish Coffee never misses and it does belong on the list but probably not a personal “best cocktails in the city” list.

    When I don’t feel like a fuss – the Iron Whip at Violet Crown Social Club

    But the Milk and Honey at Here Nor There is easily one of the best drinks I’ve ever had.

    I miss Haddingtons. Their Duck Fat Sazerac was a mouthful of deliciousness and the Dover to Calais got me obsessed with orgeat. RIP

    Green Drink @ Tigress Pub, honorable mention to their incredible Irish Coffee 😋
