SAN ANTONIO – St. Patrick’s day will be here soon, and if you are celebrating from home this year then we have a few themed cocktails for you to try. Artisan owner Nick Spink shares three cocktails: The Wicked Leprechaun, Frozen Shamrock and Dublin Apple. The Wicked Leprechaun is a vodka based drink with 7 UP, blue curacao, and orange juice. The Dublin Apple is whiskey-based with muddled green apple and apple schnapps. You can find Artisan at their new location 402 Austin St, San Antonio, TX 78215.

SAN ANTONIO – Dining outdoors and with the windows open, thanks to Covid, have become the preferred way of socializing these days. Thanks to an open-patio layout, a large garage door they can open and the Modern American vibe, local hotspot, Down on Grayson, can keep the air, food and drinks flowing. They use fresh juices to concoct savory classical drinks including a lavender lemonade, spicy margarita and their winter cocktail - a rosemary maple bourbon sour. Watch the video for the drinks and visit Down on Grayson for more.

SAN ANTONIO – If your new year’s resolution included cutting back on calories that doesn’t mean cutting back on your favorite cocktails. Just follow Artisan Distillery owner Nick Spink’s advice by substituting Stevia for those sugary cocktail mixers. Spink’s variation of his vodka margarita, for instance, only contains about 70 calories, compared to about 600-700 calories that most margaritas contain. Artisan is the first vodka distillery in downtown San Antonio. For more on Artisan Distillery check out their website.
