Gift-giving during the holiday season is a cherished tradition that promotes warmth and connection. It’s more than exchanging items; it’s about expressing care, appreciation, and thoughtfulness. The act of selecting or creating a gift often reflects the giver’s understanding of the recipient’s preferences, creating a meaningful bond. While the holiday season can be bustling with commercialism, the true essence lies in the joy of giving and receiving. Whether it’s a handcrafted token or a well-chosen item, gifts serve as a tangible reminder of our relationships and the shared moments we celebrate together. With the holidays season just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about gift giving ideas.

Today’s highlight is on the new Madam Paleta Tequila, a female-founded, award-winning tequila brand, rooted in Mexican authenticity that offers additive-free premium blanco flavor-infused tequilas. Crafted with 100% blue agave from Los Altos de Jalisco, Mexico, it ensures a smooth finish without the dreaded “tequila face.” (Madam Paleta Tequila, 2024)

Madam Paleta is the perfect choice for holiday gatherings and gifting to the tequila aficionado in your life. Why should Madam Paleta be a part of this year’s holiday gifting lists? What sets Madam Paleta apart from other tequilas?

Authentic Flavors:

  • Madam Paleta Tequila offers 3 authentic flavors inspired by the Mexican Paleta (popsicle) culture. There are no fake flavors, syrups or sugar-based enhancements – what you see is what you get, making it perfect for sipping, shooting, or mixing.
  • Grapefruit embodies a distinctive blanco tequila infused with natural grapefruit flavors and subtle notes of tart sweetness. 
  • Pineapple offers a refreshing and crisp taste full of flavor, reminiscent of a tropical getaway in every sip. 
  • Tamarind presents the distinct taste of tangy tamarind with an extra layer of boldness and authenticity.

Key Awards: 

  • Madam Paleta Tequila has already received industry recognition with prestigious awards, including the recent 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold victory and “Best in Class” finalist nomination for Tamarind – the first flavor-infused tequila with this distinction. 
  • Madam Paleta also won gold medals for Grapefruit and Pineapple in the 2023 Pr%F Awards and gold medals for Tamarind and Grapefruit in the 2023 John Barleycorn Awards. 

Artwork Collaboration: 

  • The brand’s striking artwork and bottle design are equally intentional. Madam Paleta uses its bottle as a canvas, partnering with local artists for each production batch, showcasing bold, vibrant, and lively artwork as an opportunity to celebrate visionary women. The next artist they are partnering with for the new production batch is San Antonio, TX based Hispanic artist Alyssa Raymond.

Madam Paleta Tequila is available for purchase online with delivery available across the nation to select states. In-store purchases can be made at select retailers across Texas.

Hopdoddy Burger Bar has an exciting offer for the Super Bowl this year. Instead of a burger, the nationally recognized burger bar will celebrate the championship game by offering something new for a limited time only. (Hopdoddy Burger Bar, 2022)

From Wednesday, February 9 through Sunday, February 13, guests can enjoy a Hopdoddy Kernel Tender Bucket, a delicious order of ten hand-breaded crispy chicken tenders served with a pound of hand-cut fries. The tenders come in interesting flavors like the Nashville Hot, Buffalo Blue, Garlic Parmesan, or Honey Mustard. To top it all, you also get your choice of a Hopdoddy side sauce, like the Chipotle Aioli, Truffle Aioli, and more.

If you prefer a drink as you watch the Super Bowl from home, try Hopdoddy’s Roadie — a half-gallon bag of frozen house margarita made with fresh, hand-squeezed juice —  so you can enjoy and easily celebrate with friends. 

Hopdoddy Burger Bar has options for people dining in or celebrating from home this year given the gradual recovery from the pandemic.

Celebrating at Hopdoddy- 

Available in-restaurant only and only on February 22, National Margarita Day, Hopdoddy is offering 5 oz. tasters of the Doble Fina Margarita, a drink with silver tequila, triple sec made in-house, and lime juice served with a salted rim. Hopdoddy has even more options to choose from in-house or from the to-go bar, like the classic Strawberry Margarita or the Big Larry.

Celebrating at Home – 

Try Hopdoddy’s new Roadie, the Cran-Hibiscus — a half-gallon bag of frozen, hard lemonade with cranberry and hibiscus flavor. This frozen, 64 oz. to-go option is enough to share with a whole party.

Hopdoddy also published this helpful guide, How to Celebrate National Margarita Day, and it comes full of celebration ideas.

All Hopdoddy orders can be placed in-person at any one of the burger joint’s restaurant locations or online at for curbside or pickup.
