Coors Light is doing beer bows for the holidays

A bow with a little extra

From classic Clydesdale cans to fireplace beer dispensers, there’s a festive theme running through the big beer brands at the moment. Coming in right on cue is Coors Light, which has dropped its beer bows in an effort to make average gifts all the better.

The idea is to brighten up those lesser gifts, from socks to staplers. The bows include QR codes giftees can scan for promos and other perks through Coors. First launched earlier this month, the bows will be on sale for a limited time, for those looking to get into the spirit. Coors says bows ordered by the 15th will arrive by Christmas.

While a bowling ball is a perfectly good gift, we understand the sentiment. The so-called “surprise gift bundle” included with the bow offers access to Coors Light merch and a gift card. So, if you’re worried about how your present or White Elephant gift will be received, consider putting a bow on it.

“Whether it’s shipping delays, crowds, or the stress of finding the perfect present, there’s nothing chill about holiday shopping,” said Marcelo Pascoa, vice president of marketing, Coors Family of Brands. “So for the Coors Light fan in your life, our beer bows transform your not-so-great gift into something special worth celebrating.”

Toast to the season with these holiday bourbon cocktails
Celebrate the holidays with these tasty bourbon cocktails

Winter is the season for sitting by the fire, for cozy sweaters and wool mittens, for the festive holiday time -- and also for bourbon. This sweet, spicy, fruity take on whiskey is the ideal winter spirit, with its robust and warming flavors that are the ideal match for seasonal tastes like apple cider, sweet cherry, maple syrup, and cranberry.

That makes winter the perfect time to try out classic bourbon cocktails like the Old Fashioned, the Paper Plane, the Boulevardier, and more. And, of course, plenty of people like to enjoy their bourbon neat or simply over ice. But if you're looking to expand your cocktail-making skills and try something new, then you might want to consider some holiday bourbon cocktails as well.

Throw a winning bash with these easy holiday punch recipes to share
Prepare in advance for a chilled and happy gathering
holiday punch recipes empress  christmas batch 5 1

When it comes to hosting for a crowd, we're big fans of batching your cocktails in advance. If you're hosting more than five or six guests, then trying to make everyone individual cocktails will be very challenging and you'll be at the bar all night rather than having the chance to socialize -- and it's even more challenging if you'll be preparing food as well. So rather than stressing out about drinks, we recommend creating a large batched recipe which you can prepare before your guests arrive, and then serve as needed. Or if you're very busy, you can even set out a punch bowl and some glasses and let your guests help themselves.

The best punch recipes are easy to drink, with popular fruity flavors enhanced by a few key additions like herbs or tasty liqueurs. The two recipes below from Empress 1908 Indigo Gin will provide all the flavor you're looking for with no stress for you.
