If you’re anything like us, you enjoy a nice cocktail or two while playing Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, and all your favorite video games. The only problem is that you need to pause the game (or wait to start a new one) if you want to make a new drink. Fear not, the folks at Southern Comfort have come up with a new way to meld the worlds of gaming and drinking.

It’s aptly called the SoConsole (in reference to the slang term ‘Soco’), and it’s the only gaming console cover ever made that can store and dispense shooters (50ml) of Southern Comfort (specifically the brand’s new expressions SoCo Sour).

Sadly, you can’t add this console cover to just any console. You might have trouble fitting it on your old-school  ColecoVision because it was specifically created to be used with the Xbox Series X.

It allows the gamer to “order” a shot of Soco even when you are in the middle of a quest, mission, or any other gaming moment.

“SoCo wants every experience to be fun and social, including gaming. But listen, we’re a whiskey brand and not a gaming brand, so we focused not on redefining existing tech gamers’ love, but instead on infusing the gaming experience with more excitement,” David Binder, Global Brand Director at Southern Comfort said in a press release.  “Avid players are craving a more interactive and social experience with friends, whether they’re celebrating a hard-fought victory or unwinding after an epic fail. And, what could be better than a SoCo Sour Up before a power up?”

Sadly, not everyone can enjoy the magic of sipping Soco while playing their favorite games. A limited number of SoConsoles will be available for 21+ gamers at store.sazerachouse.com/southern-comfort-soconsole starting October 25 at 10 AM EST for $50.

Spring brings rebirth, rejuvenation, and re-releases of popular, highly sought-after whiskeys. And while there are countless rare whiskey releases in the spring, few are as beloved as Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Decanter Series. Lucky for these fans, Heaven Hill announced last week that it was releasing the Spring 2025 edition.

Heritage De Oppresso Liber

In partnership with the Green Beret Foundation, Heritage is releasing a premium whiskey called De Oppresso Liber. It’s a reference to the Green Beret’s motto, which translates to “to free the oppressed.” This five-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon was bottled at 122 proof (61% ABV) to pay homage to the year in which President John F. Kennedy visited Fort Bragg to authorize the donning of the green berets by the U.S. Army’s elite Special Forces Regiment.
