Kendall Jenner is serving drinks!
The model was spotted in Athens, Georgia and Tuscaloosa, Alabama on Tuesday and in Gainesville, Florida Wednesday serving shots and promoting her liquor brand 818 Tequila as part of "Kendall's College Tour". Jenner had undertaken a similar tour in October last year, visiting four college campuses across the Midwest.
The Los Angeles-based celebrity's appearance in college towns across the Southeast sent crowds flocking to bars near the campuses of the University of Georgia, University of Alabama and University of Florida.

First stop: Alabama
Jenner, 28, first stopped in Tuscaloosa, according to AL.com, where she served $2 shots of 818 Tequila Blanco and $4 margaritas at two bars that afternoon.
Up next: Athens, Georgia
Just a few hours later, Jenner was in Athens serving shots of liquor at a local bar in a red and black Georgia crew neck, according to Athens-Banner Herald, part of the USA TODAY Network.
She was later also seen signing bottles of her 818 Tequila at a liquor store.
Packed bar in Gainesville
The next day, Jenner traveled to Gainesville in Florida, where she served drinks at packed bars.
Fans had lined up as early as 1 p.m. outside the bar she was visiting to get a prime spot, reported The Gainesville Sun, part of the USA TODAY Network.
As Jenner's arrival neared, the crowd inside and out began chants of "Kendall" and "818." People outside got a quick glimpse of her before she slipped inside the restaurant. She made her way to the inside bar to the music of "Jaws" and "Go Gators."
Dozens of people at the back of the room stood on chairs with cellphones held high hoping to see the star.
As she later moved outside, people began to fight through the crowd for position. The tables that were once full remained covered with plates of food and purses left behind. Jenner served shots, signed autographs and posed for pictures.
A 21-year-old fan Amy Smith told the Gainesville Sun that she grew up watching Jenner on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," and was excited to catch a glimpse of the star.
"She definitely holds a lot of nostalgic memories for me, so I'm excited to see her in person," Smith said.

What is 818?
Jenner launched her tequila brand in 2021, with the name inspired by an area code in the Los Angeles metro area.
“The area code 818 is home to me,” Jenner says on the 818 website.
818 works "closely with local, family-owned farms in Jalisco, Mexico" to create "the smoothest, most natural, and best tasting tequila possible," says the brand on the website, adding that "only the highest quality ingredients are used in its creation".
