Drink of the Month
Paula Smash
Recipe by Mike Martensen The Cedars Social
A smash is a variation on a julep, famously known for using mint, which is plentiful around Austin in spring. Mike came up with this recipe to accentuate the bright orange flavor of PTO against the mint.
2 oz. PTO 1 oz. lemon juice 1 oz. simple syrup 2 dashes Angostura bitters 6 large mint leaves In a mixing glass, gently muddle mint with simple syrup. Add PTO, lemon juice, bitters, and ice. Shake and strain into a collins glass filled with crushed ice. Garnish with mint sprig.

Paula on TV's Drinking Made Easy
Zane Lamprey checked out Paula's distillery in the Austin episode of Drinking Made Easy. Hey folks, it was 10 a.m., and I was supposed to be chipper next to this comedian. Notice at the beginning I look like a disgruntled kindergarden teacher but progressively lighten up after a few sips of PTO. Wait for the Paula's Punch at the end.  | Drinking Made Easy with Paula's Texas Spirits, Austin, TX |
