STILL AUSTIN TO HOST COLD FASHIONED SUMMER KICK-OFF PARTY ON JULY 11

FIRST 100 GUESTS TO JOIN COLD FASHIONED CLUB, $1 COLD FASHIONEDS ALL SUMMER LONG WITH GOLD CUP MEMBERSHIP

Still Austin is celebrating the launch of the Cold Fashioned—a frozen take on the classic cocktail built on its award-winning flagship bourbon, The Musician—with a free summer kick-off party on July 11 that will transform the distillery into the coldest place in Austin for the day. The event is open to the public and also marks the launch of the Cold Fashioned Club: a new membership program offering $1 Cold Fashioneds at the Still Austin Distillery Tasting Room throughout the Texas summer using the members-only Gold Cup.

WHO: Still Austin Whiskey Co.

WHAT: The Cold Fashioned Summer Kick-Off Party will feature $1 Cold Fashioneds all day. The first 100 guests through the door will receive a Gold Cup and access to the Cold Fashioned Club, granting them one $1 Cold Fashioned every day at the Tasting Room all summer long. The 2026 Cold Fashioned Club membership is valid through Oct. 1, 2026.

The event will also feature free corn dogs, local legend DJ Tropicana Joe on the decks from noon to 4 p.m., and special event merch. Additionally, there will be a secret speakeasy tucked away on-site, a cold plunge on the patio with free swag, and international soccer games will be available to watch on the big screen at the Tasting Room patio starting at 4 p.m.

This event is free and open to the public. $1 Cold Fashioneds and giveaway merchandise are available while supplies last. Rideshare is encouraged.

WHEN: Saturday, July 11, 2026, at noon

WHERE: Still Austin Whiskey Co., 440 E. St. Elmo Road, Suite F, Austin, Texas 78745

WHY: The Cold Fashioned is Still Austin’s answer to summer temps: a timeless classic made frozen, blended and dangerously easy to drink that has already become one of the distillery’s most popular pours. The Cold Fashioned brings whiskey into the season in a whole new way, and the Cold Fashioned Club makes it accessible all summer long at just $1 a pour.
