The Desert Door Distillery held a cocktail-crafting competition at Native Hostel on June 27, where 13 mixologists from Austin’s top establishments attempted to make the top spirits. After three rounds, the judges announced The Hightower’s Olivia Schnell as the night’s winner. Schnell was awarded $1,000 and her cocktail will be featured on the Desert Door + Native hostel menu.
