How much are drinks at midnight cowboy

The Midnight Cowboy is the creation of Todd Kauffman at Johnson County Distillery. The distillery produces Jacob Weldon Blended Bourbon Whiskey, named for Kauffman’s grandfather. It’s fitting, because this is very grandpa-esque recipe; it’s really more like spiced-up bourbon than anything.

Since it’s such a bourbon-forward recipe, the bourbon you choose should be flavorful. We often treat rye and bourbon somewhat interchangeably, but in this case we’d stick with bourbon; the spicy, peppery flavors of rye would overwhelm the small share of walnut bitters, amaro, and orange oil.

For the amaro, Kauffman recommends Averna, a middle-of-the-road amaro that isn’t too bitter or two sweet. It’s a lovely canvas for experimentation, though, so try it with your favorite amaro and see how you like it!

A drink like this would typically be stirred, not shaken. Kauffman’s recipe calls for shaking, likely to dilute the strong flavors a bit. You can shake or stir – it’s up to you.

Instructions

Shake all ingredients (except the orange peel) with ice, or stir with ice in a mixing glass until well-chilled. Strain into an ice-filled short glass. Squeeze the peel over the drink, rub it on the rim of the glass, and drop it in as a garnish.

One of the best looking cocktail app out there. Design is nice and efficient. Cocktail list and ingredients up to date, team is really responsive. I particularly like the no-brand approach. Good job guys! Keep up the good work.

  • Q:

    Yelp says it is closed sunday and Monday, but I made a reservation for Sunday and I cannot connect with anyone at midnight cowboy via phone?

    A:

    I wasn't aware that Midnight Cowboy was closed on Sundays and Mondays. If you can make an online reservation with them for a given day they should be open that day. In any case, if you need to cancel, there's a link to do it in the reminder email… more

What to wear to Midnight Cowboy Austin?

Come dressed nicer than you would for a dive, honky tonk—or most of 6th Street's bars, for that matter. Slacks and a collared shirt or heels should do the trick. How are the drinks?

How do you get into Midnight Cowboy?

Look for the “Midnight Cowboy Modeling” sign, ring the buzzer marked “Harry Craddock,” and slip into the unassuming door at 313 East 6th Street. Once inside, kick back with one of the team's seasonal specials or supernatural punch bowls. How to book: Reserve online.
