Tipsy Texan wedding brings out all of Austin's heavy hitters

With catering by Franklin Barbecue set against the backdrop of the beautiful Treaty Oak Distilling Ranch, the wedding of “Tipsy Texans” David Alan and Joe Eifler is enough to turn any Austinite green with envy. It’d be an understatement to say the couple has connections. Alan and Eifler are both drink industry veterans, most well known for Tipsy Texan, a cocktail company started by Alan in 2007 that assists with business development and special events. Just as Tipsy Texan has served as a bridge to the food and drink community of Austin, the company is also how the newlyweds initially met. Before you call up Franklin demanding smoked meats for your wedding, note that this does not just happen for anyone. This was a personal favor because of the long relationship between the business owners, and the Tipsy Texan sandwich just so happens to be one of the best sellers on the Franklin menu. But it gets better. In addition to the delicious ‘cue, desserts came by way of Olivia O’Neill from Sugar Mama’s Bakeshop and Amy’s Ice Creams. “I know that the goal of every wedding is to be a unique affair. Because of our involvement in the community for so many years, we were really able to pull together something that was very personalized for us,” says Alan.
