"As the 2022 James Beard Award winner for Outstanding Bar Program, Julep is the crown jewel of Houston’s cocktail bar scene with 10 years in the game. Here, Alba Huerta and her team create classics, including a whiskey-fueled Cherry Bounce Sour and the bar’s namesake cocktail, the julep. Try one of its three varieties on the menu, including a Tepache Julep — a combination of sous vide pineapple wine, mezcal, Maraschino, raspberry, and tamarindo poured over crushed ice." - Brittany Britto Garley
