Your A-List: Best Cocktail
In an alliterative battle of the M’s, Trudy’s infamous Mexican Martini took down other favorite margaritas and martinis to once again win the honor of Best Cocktail in the Your A-List poll (with 38 percent of the vote). Margaritas ruled the day in Texas for ages, but ever since people realized that taking out all that silly ice would help make the job of getting buzzed a lot easier (nevermind the fact that it tastes better, if made with quality ingredients), the Mexican Martini has become a favorite of many Austinites. And nobody does it better than the folks at Trudy’s, who would ask that you only have two, please.

Opal Divine’s is working on a cocktail hour, a reverse happy hour of sorts that will happen Thursday-Saturday from 9p-11p. It’ll be posted on their website soon and detailed out in their newsletter.

The D at Zax is not on there? This city needs some Zaxification. Plus there is a group of hilarious people that hang around the bar telling totally awesome stories!

Trudy’s MexiMarts will no doubt get you buzzed, but they taste like Everclear and Lemon-Lime Gatorade, IMO. Next!
