Tipsy Tips

It's important for bars to buy local booze whenever they can, says David "Tipsy Texan" Alan, author of the newly released Tipsy Texan: Spirits and Cocktails from the Lone Star State. He tells Austin Monthly: "The more you support the local spirit industry, the more it grows and the better the options get." He also chides folks who don't stock their bars with Paula's Texas Orange: "You can't make a margarita without it." [Austin Monthly]
