A bottle of Don Julio Real will run you $350, but if that’s not hype enough for you this National Tequila Day (Tuesday, July 24), why not drop $550,000 on the most epic tequila-inspired vacation of all time?

The former Most Interesting Man in the World, Jonathan Goldsmith, wants to celebrate your shared love of tequila and luxury by agave-ing and dining you on an extravagant trip. Hot air balloon ride? Heck yes. A sailing trip? Sure, skippy! Drinking tequila with a hand-rolled cigar in hand? Obviously.

Goldsmith and Astral Tequila are taking applicants for The Most Interesting Trip in the World, a 10-person weekend getaway featuring a private flight to an undisclosed location; Mexican cigars; a staff featuring a personal mixologist, photographer, and social media advisor; plenty of room to do activities; and unlimited Astral Tequila.

Un. Limited. That applies to the cigars as well.

The weekend is a celebration of Goldsmith’s favorite things (which just so happen to be ours as well). If you’ve got the cheddar to drop on this crazy tequila adventure (think of it this way: the price of admission is just $55,000 for you and nine of your buddies), bring your best grooming supplies because Astral’s professional photographer will be crouching starboard to capture you in all your glory. The best image from the trip will be turned into a meme by Astral.

During the vacay, you’ll also get intimate lessons from Goldsmith on “how to stay interesting” because while binge-watching season two of Queer Eye with three boxes of mac and cheese is fun, it is not so interesting.

Goldsmith really does hit all the criteria for the most interesting man in the world, having traveled the world over, saved “a couple lives,” survived hurricanes, summited mountains, and being the personal guest of Barack Freaking Obama at Camp David and the White House. Don’t believe us? Here’s our full interview with the legend himself.

So, interested in being more interesting and drinking unlimited tequila? Contact Astral’s “Head of Exclusive and Extravagant Experience” (yep, that’s a job) and empty your bank account.

A Michelin-starred chef guides us on pairing wine and pasta
pasta courses at Massara NYC

Enjoying a nice bowl of fresh pasta? While steak and wine are often touted as the perfect pairing, pasta is also a complex pairing for wine. But with so many pasta types, cooking styles, and sauces, pairing pasta with wine is a complex task. We decided to try out the new pasta-tasting menu at Massara, a Southern Italian restaurant in New York helmed by Chef Stefano Secchi of Rezdôra (a one Michelin-starred restaurant).

"Michael Duffy and the somm team has done well in the pairing," said Chef Stefano Secchi. "Luckily, the wines on our list pair well with the food eaten in the region…a strong ethos and throughline of our restaurants."

I tried the Kamado Joe Konnected Joe—here’s how it handled real recipes
Even if you make mistakes you can create crowd-pleasing meals with Kamado Joe Konnected Joe
Pre-heating the Kamado Joe Konnected Joe guarded by with Happy.

I jumped at the chance to test the Kamado Joe's Konnected Joe Digital Grill and Smoker. Like most members of our extended family of avid cooks and eager eaters, I enjoy grilling year-round. Still, my experience has been limited to conventional charcoal grills and three-burner propane grills. I was curious about what it would be like to cook with a ceramic grill, and grew even more excited by the prospect of precise temperature control promised by the Konnected Joe.
Why cook with a kamado-style grill

Kamado-style ovens, stoves, and grills use heated stone or ceramic to provide radiant heat that cooks the food. The Kamado Joe brand of kamado grills cooks with radiant heat, with thick ceramic sections in the cooker. It can take some time to reach the desired temperature, but the grill's heavy insulation retains the heat for a long time.

How I upgraded my De’Longhi Rivelia to make incredible cold espresso drinks
How to unlock six new cold foam recipes
De'Longhi Rivelia

I first started using the De'Longhi Rivelia espresso machine, the brand's newest fully automatic, innovative, and touchscreen espresso maker for home use. I was instantly impressed with how easy this espresso maker was to use and how quickly it made it possible to prepare all my favorite espresso-based beverages.

Ironically, I was so caught up in learning how to use the machine to make hot coffee drinks that I forgot it could also make cold coffee drinks. Once I upgraded with the De'Longhi LatteCrema Cool kit, I unlocked a whole new world of possibilities for cold coffee drinks, from an iced white flat to an iced cappuccino. This tiny upgrade changed the game, solidifying just how much I love this espresso machine.
