Houston bartender sweeps Austin Drink Local Night
Bobby Heugel of the new Houston restaurant Anvil won the Edible Austin/Tipsy Texan Drink Local Contest last week. Heugel, who also pens the mixology blog Drink Dogma, was the only out-of-towner, up against local mixologists Will Earls of Gypsy, Billy Hanky of the Good Knight, Ben Craven of Starlite and Bill Norris of FINO, who won second in the 42 Below Cocktail World Cup earlier this year.
Heugel impressed the judges — which included Dai Due chef Jesse Griffiths, cocktail writer Moxy Castro, L Style/G Style editor Chantal Outon, “Tipsy” of TipsyTexan.com Joe Eifler and Driskill hotel food and beverage director Tom Beatywith — his False Dichotomy cocktail.
Here is the recipe for the winning drink: (You can find the rest of the contestants’ drinks on this Tipsy Texan post.)
False Dichotomy
2 oz Railean XO Texas Rum
1 oz Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
.75 oz. Honey-Lavender Syrup
1 egg white
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Shake all ingredients except for the bitters in a shaker with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass and mist the bitters on top, over half of the surface. Garnish with a lemon twist.
