George Strait might be known as the “King of Country,” but the American singer and songwriter is also a co-founder of an award-winning tequila brand. Código 1530 isn’t just another celebrity brand; it’s a tequila recipe that has been perfected over generations by a select group of Mexico’s most respected families. Produced in Amatitán, Jalisco, Código 1530 is aged to taste in the world’s finest French Oak Cabernet wine barrels for an exquisite and decadent flavor. To honor the holiday spirit, Código 1530 has teamed up with the Resistol hat brand for a new holiday gift kit that’s perfect for every cowboy. For any modern cowboy, like George Strait, a Resistol hat is a must-have that rounds out your Western collection. Along with Código 1530 tequila, this holiday cocktail gift is the perfect present for anyone looking to get in touch with their inner cowboy.

Celebrating the holiday season with Código 1530 and Resistol

The “Cowboy Coffee Cocktail” kit offers the best for tequila lovers looking to enjoy a refined Reposado at home. Along with the cocktail kit, this gift includes a fine black felt hat from Resistol that’s adorned with signature brand cues. This hat joins Resistol’s George Strait Collection for a limited time only. Each hat is crafted with care and traditional techniques, resulting in a durable, modern design. “The cowboy hat is more than just a piece of Western attire — it’s a symbol of heritage, hard work, and timeless style. My Resistol hat is more than just a piece of clothing — it’s a versatile, essential tool,” says George Strait.
Along with an elevated hat box voucher for the limited edition Código 1530 hat by George Strait, the “Cowboy Coffee Cocktail” Classic kit includes a 375ml bottle of Código 1530 Reposado Tequila, a 2oz honey fig syrup bottle, three cold brew cans, an 8-oz milk carton, a dried figs packet, and a recipe card. The deluxe version of the kit includes even more ingredients and the hat voucher. Crafted without added sweeteners, this holiday cocktail kit is the perfect kit for the season, whether you’re giving it to a friend or yourself!

Build an award-winning bar cart with these 12 top spirits

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

For me, a solid liquor cabinet holds the absolute basics— vodka, whiskey, gin, tequila, bitters, and a few home bar essentials for crafting cocktails. But my less-than-impressive shelf had a fundamental flaw—I focused on variety instead of craftsmanship, barely looking beyond the label. So I amassed a dozen award-winning spirits to see if I could taste the difference.

The results? I learned that much of what I blamed on my technique was actually due to my spirits’ quality. With better bottles in hand, straight pours brought on deeper complexity, and cocktails achieved effortless balance, without a single skill set shift.

The tequila-based cocktails you need to learn this summer

Espolòn Tequila

While there’s no wrong time of year for tequila-based cocktails, summer just might be the best. Also, when it comes to warm-weather spirits, it’s hard to beat the appeal of agave-based tequila, with flavors like citrus, vanilla, vegetal agave, cracked black pepper, and other spices. Aging only adds to the nuanced flavor profile, making tequila a great choice for warm-weather mixed drinks like the Margarita, Paloma, and more.

While I’ve sung the praises of gin-based cocktails during the summer months, I have the same affinity for tequila. There’s something special about sitting on a deck (or dock) overlooking a pond, lake, or river while you sip a tequila-based cocktail on a warm, humid afternoon. When you’re sipping your drink and taking in the picturesque view, there are no deadlines and emails waiting for response. You’re in the moment and just going with the flow as jet skis, pontoon boats, and sailboats glide by.

Classic golf course beers you’ll want to drink this summer

Dale’s Pale Ale

If you’re anything like me, you’re going to spend at least another day or two on the golf course before the end of summer. You might not notice it, but the days are growing shorter, and fall is lurking on the horizon like a pumpkin spice-fueled monster. Your chances of spending sunny, humid days on the links are quickly dwindling. And while where you’re golfing and who you’re with is important, so too is what you’re drinking.

In my years of golfing and drinking, I’ve encountered myriad golf course cocktails, and I’ve found that while you can’t beat the classic flask of whiskey, there’s nothing better than a crisp, refreshing beer on a warm summer day spent enjoying 18 holes. Who cares if you’re hitting eagles or double bogeys left and right if you have a nice beer to sip?
