Just when you thought you could slide with a little rum in your cake and super old - not in a good way, either - liquor to punch up a holiday punch bowl, turns out NBA’s biggest names like LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Draymond Green know how to wine and dine like the champions they are with holiday season alcoholic beverages in the form of Lobos 1707 Tequila & Mezcal or even luxury brand Darco Spirits.

It’s the holiday season and one of the most cringe things you can do is meet family and friends with the half-consumed bottle you saved from last year or worst - a holiday bottle someone gifted you but you can’t remember who and contemplate bringing it to the potential gifter’s party - yikes. Fortunately, both Lobos 1707 Tequila & Mezcal along with Darco Spirits step the standard up for premium responsible drinking and sets you apart from the competition.

Peep the rundown on both and make sure to secure your bottle before they’re gone-gone. And if you’re a lightweight like myself, remember - everyone you know enjoys the bubbly, so embrace the concept of giving over receiving.

And quick side note, it’s all about giving credit when credit is earned and deserved - of course I am referring to the photo credit. From the main image of LeBron James and gang-gang: (left to right: Anthony Davis, Draymond Green, Diego Osorio, LeBron James Photo Credit: Darrel Ann Photography)

All sourced from the finest ingredients, Lobos 1707’s portfolio is all natural and gluten-free, with zero color or flavor additives. Made with 100% Blue Weber Agave, then aged in American white oak barrels and finished in Pedro Ximénez (PX) Sherry wine barrels using the Solera method for unique and elevated flavor profiles.  Lobos 1707 can be found in all 50 US states at retail locations, or online at www.lobos1707.com/shop, or ReserveBar.

Darco Spirits

American Harvest Vodka and Beach Whiskey are flagship brands within the Darco Spirits portfolio, founded by self-made entrepreneur, David Adelman of Darco Capital, David is also the Owner of the Philadelphia 76ers.

American Harvest Vodka is handcrafted in Idaho and produced in small batches using ingredients from local family farms. Distilled from 100% organic Idaho winter wheat with water from the protected Aquifers below the Snake River Plain, American Harvest Organic Vodka is 100% traceable with all ingredients, bottling, and distilling.

Beach Whiskey is available in two different flavors, Island Coconut and Bonfire Cinnamon. The unique filtration process creates a distinctly smooth, round mouthfeel that gives Beach Whiskey drinkability unlike other harsh whiskeys, making it perfect on its own or in a cocktail.  Early this year, Beach Whiskey also launched their own canned cocktails in four bright and fruit-forward, summer-inspired flavors: Watermelon Peach, Mango Lemonade, Pineapple Coconut and Strawberry Lemonade. Darco Spirits products are currently available to purchase at in-store and select online retailers.
