As part of its Show Your HBCU Spirit national tour, DIAGEO is visiting schools like North Carolina A&T, Howard University, and the Bayou Classic in New Orleans, amplifying pride, culture, and legacy throughout the HBCU community.

Cheers to Culture and Responsibility

At Spelhouse Homecoming 2025, DIAGEO showcased a mix of celebration and responsibility. Guests enjoyed signature cocktails from iconic brands such as Tanqueray, Crown Royal, Smirnoff, Casamigos, and DeLeón, while the company promoted its responsible drinking initiatives — Take a Minute to Make a Choice and Cheers to Choice — encouraging mindful consumption and alcohol-free options.

“We want everyone to have a great time while consuming our brands responsibly,” Dr. Robinson emphasized.
