Howdy, everyone! Lainie Eilenberger here, your go-to real estate agent for Lubbock and West Texas. Today, we're stepping away from the world of real estate for a moment and diving into a piece of local history that's as refreshing as it is iconic: the Chilton cocktail.
The Chilton Cocktail: A West Texas Classic
In the wide world of cocktails, the Chilton stands as a proud testament to West Texas culture. It's a drink that's as unique and beloved as the people who call this region home. But what exactly is a Chilton, and where did it come from?
History: The Chilton cocktail originated right here in Lubbock, Texas, at the Lubbock Country Club back in the 1960s. It's named after the club's long-time member named Dr. Chilton who asked a bartender one-night to fix'em up a drink made with lemon juice, vodka, club soda, ice, and with a salted rim. This simple yet refreshing concoction quickly became a local favorite, spreading its fame throughout West Texas and beyond.
Crafting the Perfect Chilton
Now, let's get down to business and mix up a Chilton of our own. Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients:
2 oz Tito's Handmade Vodka
1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
Club soda
Ice
Lemon wedge for garnish
Salt (optional)
Instructions:
Start by rimming a highball glass with salt if you like a salted rim. Simply run a lemon wedge around the rim and dip it in a shallow dish of salt.
Fill the glass with ice cubes, and squeeze in the juice from a freshly cut lemon. Feel free to adjust the lemon juice to your taste.
Pour in 2 ounces of Tito's Handmade Vodka.
Top off the glass with club soda, leaving a little room at the top for garnish.
Give it a gentle stir to combine the flavors.
Garnish with a lemon wedge or wheel.
Take a sip and let the crisp, citrusy goodness transport you to the heart of West Texas.
