"Join us to celebrate our culture with Texas Music, Texas Food and Texas Cocktails”
Craft Cocktails Texas was inspired by the local cocktail movement right here in Dallas. The local movement is influenced by many undiscovered names with great talent and we want the world to know we are here. We want to showcase the talent of barmen and ladies from Dallas, Austin, Houston and San Antonio, so we have created Craft Cocktails Texas.
Schedule: More to come!
