"An Oaxacan-inspired restaurant in Austin owned by Mexico City native Daniel Brooks; his views on Mexican drinking culture inform the spot’s approach to cocktails and cuisine. Brooks favors a modern, late-20th-century origin for the michelada, emphasizes regional variations across Mexico (noting especially inventive stands in Mexico City), and describes the drink as a ‘vuelve a la vida’—an ideal, low-alcohol remedy for hangovers that lends itself to endless remixing." - Clara Wang
