    Remember: Champagne goes with everything.

    Gathering with loved ones throughout the holiday season is one of the reasons this time of year is so special. Spending time with family over Thanksgiving is wonderful, but there's also the opportunity to celebrate throughout the month of November with Friendsgiving.

    If you have received an invitation to a Friendsgiving celebration or if you are looking to host your own event, Twin Liquors is your local expert, providing everything from wine pairing advice to cocktail ideas and bottle recommendations to gift your host.

    Wondering how to choose the perfect bottle of wine to bring? Look to the menu. If a mouthwatering ham or juicy turkey is being served, seek out a bottle of Red Burgundy for a perfect pairing. White Burgundy will complement potatoes and stuffing, while pecan pie and a bottle of Sauternes go hand-in-hand.

    If your host is leaving dinner a surprise, you can’t go wrong with Champagne — it goes well with everything! Don’t forget to have your friendly Twin Liquors associate wrap the chosen bottle with a complimentary bag and bow service to turn it into a beautiful gift.

    Friendsgiving also calls for a shared “cheers” with a delicious cocktail in-hand. Twin Liquors can help with personalized recommendations for spirits to stock your bar cart, so you’re always ready to whip up a craft cocktail for your friends.

    Check out Twin Liquors' collection of unique recipes on Instagram (@twinliquors), including a pumpkin spice espresso martini, Jack-o’-Lantern Punch, and a classic old fashioned.

    If some of your friends would prefer a non-alcoholic drink to enjoy during dinner, Twin Liquors also has plenty of mocktail ideas and non-alcoholic options.

    Whether you are sipping on a glass of wine, toasting with a bottle of Champagne, or stirring up a specialty cocktail, spending time gathered around the table with your friends is a time to be treasured.

    Come find the best bottles to serve or hand-craft drinks from your neighborhood Twin Liquors, and have a happy Friendsgiving!

    crash landing

    Houston's space-themed bar will shutter after 3 years in Montrose

    A space-themed cocktail bar will soon fall out of orbit. Roswell’s Saloon will close after service on Sunday, June 28.

    Houston entrepreneur Shawn Bermudez explains that he has decided to shutter Roswell’s rather than renew his lease on the space at 1417 Westheimer. Instead, he’ll focus on his growing group of restaurants, which includes four locations each of The Burger Joint and The Taco Stand, as well as frozen dessert and cocktail spot Happy Go Lucky and Montrose taco and tequila concept Pistolero’s.

    He and his business partner, chef Matthew Pak, will open a new location of The Burger Joint on Kirby Dr. this fall. In early 2027, they’ll welcome The Pizza Place, a new concept opening next to Happy Go Lucky.

    Boondocks, Bermudez’s lively bar that’s next to Roswell’s, will remain open. He also operates Montrose clothing stores Pavement, Leopard Lounge, Money Money, and BINS.

    “Roswell’s has been a labor of love, and I’m grateful for every Houstonian who came through our doors and let us take them to another galaxy,” Bermudez said in a statement. “But with everything we have going on right now between the restaurants and the retail side, it’s time to focus that energy where it’s needed most.”

    Bermudez opened Roswell’s in 2023 in the former Stone’s Throw space. Designed to be an immersive, otherworldly experience, all of the floors, walls, and bartops are UV-reactive in order to react to the blacklights and neons providing illumination. The bar’s neon sign took inspiration from the Glitter Gulch, a famous Las Vegas strip club. Other details include planets, an astronaut, and other artifacts hanging from the ceiling.

    Between now and Sunday, Roswell’s will maintain its normal hours of 7 pm-2 am, including its “Sunset Hour” happy hour specials of $2 off cocktails, wine, beer, and bubbles every day from 7-8 pm.
