What drinks would you serve at your Texas BBQ joint?
It's been a while since I posted an installment of Build Your Own Texas BBQ Joint, so we're due. We've discussed what meats and sides you'd serve. What about drinks? (For me, regardless of what else I'm pouring for customers, I'd have STRONG, DARK, fresh-brewed iced tea. Quite possibly double brewed. With fresh-cut lemons, of course.)

Big Red! Not the cheap imposter Red Flash. Big Red is a must.
I notice a TON of people here in Central Texas enjoying a super sweet Big Red with their bbq. PS Black's Bbq is the best in the world.
I'm with you on iced tea. I was at Lockhart Smokehouse in Dallas this week and had an otherwise good experience ruined by awful Gold Peak iced tea.
If I ran a BBQ joint, I would want to serve wine with barbecue. That's something that I've never seen done -- there's usually plenty of beer but rarely wine -- maybe either because folks don't know what wines would work well or because wine seems too high falutin for barbecue. But it's not, or at least it shouldn't be.
Missing from far too many restaurants in general is the grapefruit flavored elixir that is Squirt. It works quite nicely with BBQ, and there's no better mixer for tequila. In the same brand family, you've got to include Dr Pepper even with the flack they're getting for the Dublin mess. For Drew's sake, make sure there's Lipton tea in a can.
Texas Red Draw
Twitter reply: "Shiner. Big Red. Lone Star. Whiskey. Should cover it all."
Twitter reply: "what about Texas' water aka Dr Pepper?"
Twitter reply: "That list with Dr. Pepper pretty much covers it."
Twitter reply: "You gotta serve a Red Draw... Right?"
Twitter reply: "Big Red of course. Shiner or a Paloma when I'm misbehaving."
Twitter reply: "Dr pepper hands down!"
Twitter reply: "RC Cola"
