If you’re a fan of ‘Succession,’ ‘Braveheart,’ or ‘Super Troopers,’ you know all about the acting prowess of Scottish-born actor Brian Cox. While he’s stepped into many iconic, multi-layered acting roles over the years, now he’s stepping into a different role. He’s partnering with Malibu in an effort to get you to “Clock Off” when the day is done and relax a little more.

Malibu’s “Do Whatever Tastes Good” campaign

The beloved actor is teaming up with the popular coconut liqueur to remind drinkers to “Clock Off” instead of spending all of their quality time tied to a desk after hours. To do this, Cox is starring in advertisements in the second installment of the brand’s “Do Whatever Tastes Good” campaign.

In the first advertisement, Cox is seen adorned in a pink suit and looking surprisingly laid-back for the usually straight-laced actor. The clock hits 5:01, and he roller skates out of the boardroom, looking for a beachside Malibu Piña Colada. The campaign is all about learning to maintain a proper work-life balance.

“Contrary to the characters I play, I’m all about celebrating the enjoyment of life and taking time off for the people and things that matter. In some roles I was consumed by work, control, and power, and never knew when to clock off,” Brian Cox said.

“But the reality is, we all need to disconnect if we want to enjoy what life has to offer. The ‘Do Whatever Tastes Good’ campaign by Malibu is about reminding people that their free time is sacred and should be enjoyed, and this is a message I support.”

Fans of shows like “Eastbound & Down” and “The Righteous Gemstones” and movies like “Pineapple Express” and “Tropic Thunder” know all about the comedic genius of Danny McBride. But while he’s well-known for his acting roles, he’s about to take on a new role: founder of a tequila brand.
Tequila Don Gato

It’s called Tequila Don Gato, and its name refers to a “legendary luchador” who had an affinity for cats. This is more than simply a celebrity tequila brand, though. It tells the story of Don Gato’s legendary status as one of Mexico’s greatest wrestlers. McBride claims to be a fan of this luchador, who may or may not actually exist. He’s such a big fan that he even went to Mexico to visit Don Gato and film his “tequila sagas.”

Manhattan cocktail

If you’re a fan of mixed drinks, you’ve probably heard references to the "cocktail renaissance." From around 2003 through 2019, we were in the midst of a mixology movement. This is when bartending changed from simply a job to an exciting career.

It’s also a period when cocktailing became more of an art form and brought us countless pioneering, creative bartenders from Tacoma to Tampa. It also brought with it a return to historical, classic drinks that might have otherwise fallen out of favor or have been forgotten in time.
