Austin staved off its brutal summer heat admirably this year, but locals know the end is nigh. How about a consolation cocktail? Bars and restaurants around town already know the ropes and have tons of frozen drinks to help folks stay cool. You can find a simple frozen margarita almost anywhere in Austin, so this list focuses on local favorites and unique offerings. Some of the drinks below are non-alcoholic, and many can be augmented with floaters.

What tools and software do you use to do your job?

Calendly is my favorite tool for scheduling. I save lots of time using Otter.ai for transcriptions. My Canon EOS 5D is always riding along.

Why did you become a journalist?

I need an outlet for all the news I get excited about. People only have so much patience for multi-paragraph Facebook messages.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

You can't get rid of me at the office. The best way to get stories is to come early, and be the last to leave.
