We could all use a little light in our lives right now, and Jaxon Beer Garden is giving it to us in the form of a cocktail.
The Jaxon Lights Out cocktail is simple enough, but not so simple that any of us would try to make it at home. Let them do the heavy sifting.
The downtown behemoth of a beer garden is serving great food and drink, as well as the chance to experience the greatness from home with to-go cocktails.
One that caught my eye was the Jaxon Lights Out, a simple cocktail with vodka, hibiscus-blueberry tea and citrus.
While the vodka and lemon wouldn't be too hard to come by, they're taking care of the hard part by prepping the multi-ingredient tea syrup. (Trust me: That stuff gets messy. Leave it to the experts.)
Pick up a cocktail kit, grab an individual cocktail to-go, or join them for a meal to enjoy the Jaxon Lights Out.
Jaxon Lights Out ($10 for an individual cocktail, $40 for a seven-serving kit): Tito's vodka, hibiscus-blueberry tea, lemon juice
Jaxon Beer Garden, 311 S. Akard St. (downtown). Open for takeout and limited dine-in service 10:30 a.m. to midnight Sunday through Thursday; and 10:30 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday through Saturday.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
