DRINK UP 

Cheers to 25 years of Tito’s Handmade
Vodka 🍸

Did you know? Tito’s Handmade Vodka was founded right here in Texas — in Austin to be exact (hey, ATXtoday).

The adventures that led to the brand started with founder Tito Beveridge heading to Venezuela + Colombia before eventually landing back in Texas where he taught himself the distilling process. Now, the iconic vodka brand is celebrating 25 years in the biz. 

What better way to mark the milestone than with a toast? Check out these Tito’s cocktail recipes for an at-home happy hour. Cheers. 🥂 *

Open 

• Hunter Brothers H3 Ranch in the Stockyards is welcoming guests once again. The steakhouse at 101 E. Exchange Ave. temporarily closed last month for some updates. The renovation comes after the Stockyards Heritage Development Co. — the owner of Hotel Drover — purchased the restaurant + Stockyards Hotel. 🍽️

Development

• A ‘Zoom ready’ hotel will open just north of Fort Worth in 2023. Atwell Suites by IHG Hotels and Resorts is a $5.5 million project that will open at 2540 Westport Pkwy. in Roanoke. The rooms feature a gallery wall suited for Zoom meetings, a kitchenette + work area. 🏨 (Fort Worth CultureMap)

Correction

• Whoopsie. In Friday's newsletter we shared that Kristin Jaworski is celebrating 20 years as the trail boss of the Fort Worth Herd. That would put Kristin's starting date in 2002, not 2022. Congrats on all of your hard work, Kristin.
