Ja Rule is closing out 2025 on a high note—becoming a grandfather while expanding his premium whiskey brand, Amber & Opal.
Fresh off walking his daughter Brittney Atkins down the aisle earlier this year, the Grammy-nominated artist shared in New York City that he’s preparing for grandfatherhood and setting up a long-term investment account to secure his grandchild’s financial future.
Alongside his growing family, Ja Rule continues to build his spirits empire with Amber & Opal, a honey botanical rye quickly making waves in the luxury market. Blending traditional whiskey craftsmanship with botanical innovation, the brand delivers a refined flavor experience for modern drinkers and has been coined as the new standard in sophisticated spirits.
Earlier this month, Ja Rule hosted Cocktails & Conversations at Amali NYC, an intimate evening celebrating Amber & Opal. Guests enjoyed a cocktail hour with light bites and signature drinks, including the Amber Rush and a classic Old Fashioned, both crafted with the whiskey. The night transitioned into a southern-inspired autumn dinner prepared by Chef Shannon, featuring a spicy feta and smoked trout appetizer, porchetta and short rib entrees, and a pecan pie cake topped with an Amber & Opal caramel glaze.
Leading a toast, Ja Rule remarked, “May your life be like Italian bread, long and full of dough.”
The evening also served as a platform to announce the Amber & Opal Bar Takeover Tour, a nationwide series of immersive events across hotels, bars, and restaurants. Guests and vendors interested in participating were invited to join the celebration of music, food, and craft spirits by contacting orders@amberopalspirits.com.
In addition to his brand activities, Ja Rule stepped into the culinary spotlight as a guest judge at the New York Wine & Food Festival’s Burger Bash, further blending his passions for food, drink, and community. More than a celebrity venture, Amber & Opal embodies Ja Rule’s vision of a lifestyle brand—celebrating creativity, connection, and elevated experiences with every pour.
