Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs knows a thing or two about entertaining the masses -- so it’s no surprise that the mogul has launched his very own concierge service for the holiday season.
Combs’ latest venture, aptly titled Combs Concierge, will offer fans the exclusive experience of receiving custom engraved bottles of his DeLeón Tequila along with a personal note from Diddy himself.
In celebration of the upcoming holiday season and his new service, Combs provided The Huffington Post with his top entertaining tips for the holidays.
When hosting a holiday party, Diddy said it’s all about the details if you want to set the right mood:
Sean Combs: My motto is "Everybody eats, everybody drinks," -- and during the holidays I like to add "Everybody celebrates together," as well. I want every detail to be perfect. The lighting. The music. I’m really big on having the right ambiance.
In terms of music, the mogul prefers a few well-known holiday classics:
We always have music playing at our house. When I get my playlist together for the holidays, I like to keep it soulful. From James Brown’s “Funky Christmas" to Donny Hathaway’s “This Christmas” and The O’Jays “Christmas Ain’t Christmas.” But I’ll also mix it up with Mariah Carey and Michael Buble’s Christmas albums.
For his guests, Combs wants everyone to feel like they’re, “Coming Home”:
I want my guests to feel like they are at home, no matter where they are visiting from. I stock the kitchen with their favorite foods. I set their rooms up with everything they need to relax and enjoy themselves. All the little things and personal touches to make them feel comfortable.
In the kitchen, Puff carries on his family tradition of serving southern-inspired food:
My grandmother used to serve the best southern-inspired foods. I carry on that tradition but mix it up a little, we always have Cornish hens, macaroni and cheese, buttermilk mashed potatoes, green beans... the works.
To cap off his holiday experience, Diddy likes to serve guests with a special DeLeón-infused cocktail:
I like to drink my DeLeón on the rocks with two limes. One of my favorite holiday drinks is The DeLeon Serenade made with DeLeón Platinum tequila, rich blood orange and cinnamon.
