If you’re looking for a sweet, boozy treat for a long weekend BBQ, bake up a loaf of this Tito’s Lemon Pound Cake, created by Austin’s mobile bakeshop, Casa de Glaze (soon they’ll be making deliveries in downtown Austin by bicycle!). There’s a healthy serving of Tito’s Handmade Vodka both in the cake and the glaze, which both perfects the texture and adds some extra zing to the flavor.

This summery lemon dessert is delicious on its own, or you can top it off with ice cream and fresh berries and pair it with an All American Lemonade or a Tito’s All Time Favorite. Why not try a piece for brunch along with a Tito’s Screwdriver? What are long weekends for anyway? Doesn’t make you a bad person.
