There's nothing better on a hot Austin day than a cool cocktail. Or two ;)

So, whether you are looking to beat the heat or just browsing for a signature sip for your big day, here are some ideas from the recent Austin "official drink" contest. All use Tito's vodka and represent our great city in a unique way. From the "Austinapolitan" to the Driskill Hotel's "Tito’s TomaTini,” there are some fun ideas that would be great on a cocktail hour menu. Why not host a tasting party to try them out?

FYI -- Austin's official drink is now the "Fire in the Hole" jalapeno shooter, created by delish restaurant Ranch 616. Can't wait for their new patio to be open!

Good times.
