Congrats on surviving last weekā€™s cold snap! Now that you're defrosted, maybe it's time to try out those pickleball courts we mentioned last week. But donā€™t wait too long - thereā€™s now a 50% chance of snow next week because Texas weather loves to keep us guessing.

Also, whoā€™s doing Dry January? A month without wine feels less like self-care and more like a stress test. Whether youā€™re embracing the mocktail trend or already planning your February 1st celebration, weā€™ve got a lineup of events to keep you distracted and entertained.

While our newsletter focuses on the local Lake Travis community, our hearts are with those impacted by the devastation of the Los Angeles fires. The thought of losing everything is unimaginable. If youā€™d like to support relief efforts, here are ways to help:

Check out the best spots for a great mocktail in the Lake Travis area!

WINSTONā€™S

via Winstonā€™s Instagram

Tucked off Bee Creek Road, Winstonā€™s is the neighborhood spot that just gets it - great breakfast, coffee, and wood-fired pizzas.

For breakfast, weā€™re big fans of the Avocado Smash which is fresh, flavorful, morning perfection. Our toddler loves the Hazelnut Cacao Toast, a sweet and satisfying kid-approved option. For dinner, their Prosciutto & Arugula pizza is a must-try. With its perfectly crispy crust and savory toppings, itā€™s one of our favorites on the menu.

Beyond great food, Winstonā€™s stands out for its welcoming atmosphere and thoughtful details. They even host Bookmobile events, have a wine club, and offer private event space in their charming back garden. Whether youā€™re grabbing coffee in the morning or settling in for a casual meal, itā€™s the kind of place youā€™ll want to visit again and again.
