As this week is Negroni Week, we’ve been talking all about tips to make your own negroni or variations at home from your home bar. But the event is also a great excuse to get out and check local bars in your area, with many cocktail-focused bars running special events for negroni week or offering their own spin on the classic.

If you’re interested in finding a local bar to check out, then you can head to the Negroni Week website to find participating venues, plus other bonuses like recipes and information on the charitable causes being supported through the program.

The week is being run by Campari, the iconic red essential of the negroni, along with Imbibe magazine and the Slow Food group which promotes sustainability in the food and beverage industry.

“Bartenders know that a well-made Negroni is about as close to perfection as one can get. With equal parts Campari, gin and sweet vermouth, this template has served as inspiration for over 100 years, and while new variations may be created, Campari is always the red heart,” said Anne Louise Marquis, Campari America’s Trade Advocacy Lead. “There is no Negroni without Campari, and we encourage those of legal drinking age to get out and support the many amazing bars and bartenders across the country, while also supporting our incredible charitable partner, Slow Food!”

As part of the celebration, Campari has also shared a classic negroni recipe making use of traditional-style vermouth and new-style gin.

Flying with beer? Here’s how to pack alcohol in your luggage

Learn how to do this right with this packing guide

Packing a suitcase

If you're anything like me and can’t resist picking up a few bottles of that amazing local wine or craft beer while you’re traveling, you’ve probably faced that moment of panic when it’s time to pack. Maybe you went a little overboard at a vineyard in Napa or filled half your suitcase with IPAs from a cool little brewery you stumbled upon. No judgment -- been there, done that. Honestly, local beer and wine make some of the best souvenirs (and gifts, if you don’t end up keeping them for yourself). Here's the big question, though. Can you bring alcohol on a plane?

The short answer is yes. Like with anything else in life, there are rules, and it's important to know them before you head to the airport, including how much and what you can bring. If you're flying with beer or wine, it's also essential to know how to pack the alcohol for the flight. There’s nothing worse than a bottle of red wine breaking in your suitcase and staining everything, or a broken beer bottle making your luggage smell like yeast right before a long-haul flight. With a few smart packing decisions, your beer or wine will be safely waiting for you at the baggage carousel, wherever your final destination may be.

These unexpected menu items at Komodo Las Vegas made my meal memorable

From appetizers to dessert, expect to be impressed

Komodo Las Vegas

The difference between a good meal and a memorable meal goes beyond just great food. You can find great food anywhere and especially when visiting Las Vegas. Yet, the most memorable meals of my life have more than just stellar food. Memorable meals have an element of surprise or experience to them. At Komodo Las Vegas, unexpected menu items turned the dining experience unforgettable.

The menu is full of choices that go beyond what you'd see at a typical Southeast Asian restaurant, transforming a meal into a complete dining experience. From the Matcha Martini to the Surf & Turf Maki Roll, these unexpected menu items at Komodo Las Vegas surprised me in the best way possible.

Here’s how I built my own box of personalized iced coffees with Frazy Bottles

Customize your iced coffee

Frazy Bottles

There's something extra fun about personalizing anything -- but especially your coffee. Perhaps this is why Starbucks fans love the detailed mobile ordering system that allows you to customize every component of your order. Similarly, Frazy Bottles enables coffee drinkers to customize every aspect of their coffee concentrate box when placing a personalized order. Building a box with Frazy Bottles made me feel like a kid in a candy store. From selecting my preferred sweetness level to fine-tuning how much caffeine is in each bottle, the whole experience is fun. Here's how I built my own personalized box of iced coffees with Frazy Bottles.
Personalizing your iced coffee

The Frazy Bottle ordering process is pretty simple. First, choose your box size: 6, 12, or 18 bottle packs. I chose the six pack to start with (just to see how I liked it). It's worth noting that the brand also has Boba tea options, but I only tried their coffee selections. After selecting your box size, you'll then move to a page to choose which flavors you'd like in your box. This is where things got especially interesting as I noticed cool and unique coffee flavors such as the Red Velvet Latte and Chocolate Chip Latte. I haven't had a chance to try all the flavors, but of the ones I did try, the Pumpkin Spice Latte was my favorite (you don't need to wait until fall for this).
