LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar, has long been known for his association with beverages. In a recent interview with Esquire, James shared his favorite cocktail that helps him unwind after a long day.
During the conversation with Brian O’Keefe, James revealed that his drink of choice is called the “Gold Medal.” The four-time NBA champion explained that the cocktail is made with either Hennessy XO or VSOP, combined with ginger beer and lime juice.
O’Keefe had asked James whether he had a specific cocktail he enjoys after games. James responded, “We’ve got a cocktail called the Gold Medal, actually.” He went on to describe the simple yet elegant recipe that he prefers.
LeBron has been involved in various partnerships with brands in the beverage industry, so it is no surprise that he enjoys a well-crafted drink. His association with Lobos 1707, a tequila brand he invests in, highlights his interest in high-quality beverages.
The Gold Medal cocktail reflects James’ affinity for luxurious drinks. Hennessy XO and VSOP are premium cognacs, known for their rich and smooth flavors.
