Founded by independently accomplished entrepreneurs and sisters, Jill Burns and Kelly Gasink, Austin Cocktails is a Texas-based, cocktail company inspired by a lifelong family tradition. The founders pay homage to their farmer grandfather, Fred, who gathered friends and family at 5 pm on summer nights after a long day working in the fields. These small gatherings became known as "Cocktail Time" and were Fred's way of making time for joy and connection. This tradition was the backdrop of some of their best memories. The founders are proud to share Fred’s legacy with cocktails that can be a bar staple year-round.

We make our family recipes using only premium spirits and fine, natural ingredients that we meticulously source. When developing Austin Cocktails, we tried hundreds of ingredients from all over the world, ranging from jalapeños to star fruit and everything in between. We discovered our ideal flavors were those that tasted truest to their natural state or as if they had just been extracted from the source--think lime flavors that deliver the tastes of the whole fruit, from the juice of the fleshy inside to the grassiness of the rind, or a mint flavor that tastes as if it were just muddled to release the essential oils from the leaves into the drinks. These subtleties give Austin Cocktails a more authentic, vibrant taste than any other beverage on the market.
