Put on your boots and shuffle on down to the Library Bar at the Warwick Melrose where, starting April 8, the cocktail menu will take on a Texas twist in honor of Texas’ 175th birthday.
The Texas Rattlesnake, made with Balcones Baby Blue Whiskey (Waco), Garrison Brother’s Bourbon (Dripping Springs), cherry brandy, and a splash of sour mix, offers a drink with a bite.
The Lone Star Martini, made with Texas’ own Dripping Springs Vodka
The Blue Bonnet, also made with Dripping Springs Vodka and Railean White Rum (Galveston Bay)
The Texas Ice Tea a volatile mix of Dripping Springs Vodka, Railean White Rum (Galveston Bay), and Pepe Zevada’s Z Tequila (Austin)
The Prickly Pear Cactus Margarita with Pepe Zevada’s Z Tequila (Austin)
Don’t fret beer and wine lovers. Texas-based breweries and wineries won’t be left out.
The three-week bash starts next Friday and will disappear like a ghost town after April 30. And the Lone Star signature drinks are all $10 or less, so saddle up and belly up to the bar before it’s too late.
