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.

Can you make great coffee in a single serve? Klatch Coffee’s answer

Is there a better option than K-Cups?

Crazy Goat coffee

While K-Cups can be appealing to coffee drinkers who value convenience at home or in the office, they're not the right choice for everyone. Although it's a fast and easy way to prepare a single cup of coffee, there are a few downsides to the system — namely that K-cup pods can be difficult to recycle (and while refillable pods exist, that depends on the user choosing that option, which isn't always a given considering quick and convenient are two of the main appeals of the system). We interviewed Klatch Coffee's expert roaster, Heather Perry, to learn more about the specialty roaster's approach to single-serve coffee.
Klatch Coffee's single-serve coffee alternatives

Klatch Coffee's single-serving Bruvi pods make it easy to enjoy high-quality, specialty coffee wherever you are. The brand has partnered with a few select providers who share their vision, one of which is Bruvi.
"Bruvi is an improved pod coffee system with a couple of unique features," Perry said. "First is taste and quality; the proprietary brewing system brews to the same high standards as specialty coffee roasters like Klatch Coffee, including adjusting the brewing parameters to match our brewing recipe. That’s why premium coffee from roasters like Klatch is offered on the Bruvi platform. Second, Bruvi’s B-Pods are enzyme-infused and designed to be tossed in the trash, making them guilt-free. B-Pods degrade faster in the landfill without leaving microplastics behind."
It’s also worth noting that for coffee drinkers who only want a single cup at a time, single-serve brewing can be more efficient on resources like water, coffee, and energy. Pre-portioned coffee doesn’t spill, and machines only heat the water needed for a single cup. There’s no waste from discarding leftover coffee from a large pot.

Canadian whisky deserves a spot in your home bar (and these are our favorites)

Canada is home to countless, memorable whiskies

If you're a fan of whiskey and you haven't branched out into Canadian whisky (unlike the US, Ireland, and Mexico, Canada omits the 'e' in whiskey), you're missing out on some special expressions. Whether you enjoy blended whisky, spicy rye, or other types of whisky, Canada has something for every palate.

Sure, Crown Royal and Canadian Club might be the most well-known names, but many more noteworthy whiskies from our friendly neighbors to the north are absolutely worth adding to your home bar cart.
