The New Hampshire Liquor Commission (NHLC) and Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey are reminding the public to serve and consume alcohol responsibly this holiday season through their award-winning Live Free & Host Responsibly campaign. The innovative and interactive campaign offers holiday-themed food and drink recipes, tips for responsible entertaining and videos on this responsibility-focused webpage.

“The holiday season is a time of celebration and joy and the Live Free & Host Responsibly campaign showcases an array of tips and recommendations for enjoying the season safely and responsibly,” said NHLC Chairman Joseph Mollica. “Responsibility is critically important in everything we do at NHLC. It is imperative we consistently encourage our customers to serve and consume alcohol responsibly year-round. We are proud to partner with Jack Daniel’s on this impactful and interactive initiative, which continues to be a tremendous resource for engaging the public with fun and informative tips and recipes for responsible hosting.”

Live Free & Host Responsibly is now featuring downloadable tips and festive recipes, including a “Rise and Shine” cocktail made with Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Rye, orange juice and lemon juice, and an alcohol-free version of the Rise and Shine, which features iced tea instead of whiskey. The webpage also features a recipe for “Jack’s Pecan Fudge,” to cure your sweet tooth this holiday season.

NHLC and Jack Daniel’s initially teamed up for the Live Free & Host Responsibly campaign in 2015, marking the first time a control state had partnered with a fine wine and spirits company on a responsibility initiative. NHLC, which is considered the most profitable and progressive control state, and Jack Daniel’s, one of the most respected and recognized brands in the world, launched this strategic effort to serve as a resource for hosts and servers.

“Responsibility is a core value and priority for Jack Daniel’s throughout the year and the Live Free & Host Responsibly campaign truly captures the importance of our responsibility message in a creative and informative platform,” said Taylor Amerman, corporate responsibility manager for Brown Forman, which owns Jack Daniel’s. “As the holiday season is a time for celebrating with family and friends, we encourage hosts and servers to enjoy the season safely by relying on our tips and recipes offered through the Live Free & Host Responsibly campaign.”

The Live Free & Host Responsibly webpage features an instructional video demonstrating how to prepare holiday food and drink recipes developed by Tim Laird, America’s Chief Entertaining Officer. Laird is an authority on wines and spirits with more than 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry. A connoisseur of fine wines, spirits and champagnes, Laird is also a gourmet chef and master at entertaining. Laird makes hundreds of appearances each year on radio and television programs and has appeared on The Today Show, The CBS Early Show, Fox & Friends, The Tonight Show, ABC World News Now, CNN, FOX News and CNBC networks.
