CITY GUIDE
s r o t i d
E
Locals, travelers, and recent transplants: Welcome to The Scout Guide Austin — a guide to the city that runs on queso, lives for live music and, most importantly, celebrates all things local. The Scout Guide launched in 2010 with a simple mission: to save small businesses. A few years later, The Scout Guide Austin was founded. Given the challenges and hardships of the past year, our purpose and commitment to supporting local businesses has never been more important. Within these pages, you’ll meet entrepreneurs, makers and artists who are integral to the unmistakable culture of our city. To honor their grit, resilience and dedication to our community, we are doubling down on our efforts to support and celebrate Austin’s small business scene. We hope you’ll join us. Whether you’re sipping on an Austin - born beverage, tapping a local expert for your design project or hitting the town in an outfit purchased from an independent boutique, there are countless ways to show your support. We believe in small gestures too — a simple “like” on social media or an online review — encourages and ensures these small businesses can continue to thrive, grow and advance our city. We also believe in the permanence and power of print, and our annual guides are intended to be keepsakes. Browse it, display it, share it — but most importantly — use it. We’re in the business of encouraging discovery and curiosity, wherever you are. It is a privilege to work alongside such inspiring entrepreneurs, and I hope you enjoy getting acquainted with them in the pages of Volume 8. Whenever you go out and support these businesses, be sure to tell them The Scout Guide sent you!

Austin Cocktails was inspired by a tradition started by our farmer grandfather, Fred, who gathered friends and family on summer nights at 5:30 pm for a cocktail after working in the fields. Kids would get Shirley Temples, and adults would get something stiffer. He called this tradition “Cocktail Time,� and this ritual was his way of making time for joy and connection and a tradition we have carried on through generations. Our cocktails are batched with real ingredients and real spirits, so that you can enjoy them around people who bring out the real you.
All cocktails are 12.5-15% 12.5-15% ABV, crisp, clean and naturally low calorie.
