Released in advance of Champagne Day 2024, the list showcases Champagne standouts in every U.S. region. It recognizes restaurants and bars that take special care to offer Champagnes from a wide variety of producers, list them properly on their menus, and serve them with élan.

“We received nominations for spectacular bars and restaurants across the country, and selected from them a list of destinations that embody the spirit of Champagne,” said Lori Russo, Director of the Bureau du Champagne, USA. “While these restaurants and bars differ in style, spanning the spectrum from fine dining to fried chicken, they all have one thing in common: they understand what makes Champagne special. For that, we couldn’t be prouder to raise a glass to them on Champagne Day and the rest of the year.”

The full list of this year’s featured bars and restaurants can be found below in alphabetical order:

• Apéro, Washington, DC: Apéro’s list of more than 700 wines places special emphasis on Champagne. The intimate setting in DC’s popular Georgetown neighborhood is an ideal spot to explore an extensive list of Champagnes smartly organized by style.
• Be Bubbly, Napa, Calif.: In the heart of California wine country, Be Bubbly takes care to showcase Champagne with a menu that includes a map of the region’s five wine-producing districts and a philosophy of Champagne as a celebration of life.

Decaf Espresso Syrup: A Revolution in Flavor
Cheeky’s Decaf Espresso Syrup, crafted in collaboration with Brooklyn’s esteemed Partners Coffee, combines decaffeinated coffee, cane sugar and gum arabic. The decaffeination method (Mountain Water Process) used in the production of this coffee is free from harsh chemicals and solvents found in some conventional practices. The addition of cane sugar and gum arabic – a natural gum derived from the sap of acacia trees – delivers a perfect balance of sweetness and velvety mouthfeel every time.

Espresso Martinis have soared in popularity, becoming a staple in cocktail culture. Known for their full-bodied coffee flavor and luxurious crema, these cocktails traditionally require fresh-brewed espresso and a meticulous preparation process. With Cheeky’s syrup, crafting the perfect Decaf Espresso Martini is now effortless. Just two ingredients are needed to shake up the perfect Martini — this syrup and your choice of base spirit. Designed to simplify the creation of espresso-based drinks, Cheeky’s syrup is a game-changer for anyone who enjoys the rich flavor of coffee but avoids caffeine.

Why Decaf?
For many, the allure of espresso lies in its deep, rich flavor rather than its caffeine content. A decaf option allows for indulgence without the jitteriness associated with caffeine. Whether you’re enjoying a late-night cocktail or reducing caffeine intake, Cheeky’s Decaf Espresso Syrup provides flavor without the buzz.

“Customers love our original Espresso Syrup but not everyone can indulge in caffeine after-hours. We are beyond excited to introduce a product that not only offers unparalleled convenience but also delivers exceptional quality and flavor,” said April Wachtel, Founder of Cheeky Cocktails.

As more individuals seek to bring bar-quality flavors into their homes, Cheeky’s products make it simple to create a variety of beverages with ease. The new syrup joins Cheeky’s growing collection of shelf-stable syrups and juices, designed to inspire creativity in mixology and cooking. The Decaf Espresso Syrup is now available for purchase in two formats: 4oz ($15) and 16oz ($30).

ABOUT CHEEKY
Cheeky is a woman, AAPI, and mixologist-owned supplier of professional-grade cocktail ingredients, offering innovative solutions for professional bartenders and consumers.

The classic Negroni has a storied history from its Italian origin in 1919, when the renowned Count Camilo Negroni asked bartender Fosco Scarselli to strengthen his favorite cocktail – the Americano – by replacing soda water with a splash of gin. Adding an orange slice as garnish, rather than the usual lemon twist, the Negroni was born and stands today as a classic staple in bars and restaurants worldwide, thanks to the support from bartenders and its perfect blend of simplicity and sophistication. Since its inception, Campari’s bitter, distinctive taste and unmistakable, vibrant red color have been at the heart of the iconic Negroni. As the only branded ingredient in the official Negroni recipe by the International Bartenders Association, there truly is no Negroni without Campari.

Imbibe’s unwavering commitment to charitable giving led to the launch of Negroni Week in 2013 with Campari, and has since raised an impressive $5 million thanks to the participation of bars and restaurants worldwide. This year, in collaboration with Official Giving Partner Slow Food, Negroni Week aims to collaborate with even more venues than ever before to benefit the Slow Food Negroni Week Fund, which aids in preserving cultural and biological diversity, promoting food and beverage education, and advocating for equity and justice globally. In 2023, the Slow Food Negroni Week Fund provided educational scholarships, access to industry events such as Tales of the Cocktail and Terra Madre Salone del Gusto, and also supported innovation projects aimed at addressing challenges in the hospitality industry. To kick off fundraising efforts for this important cause in 2024, Campari and Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits will once again make donations of $100,000 and $10,000, respectively.

Anne Louise Marquis, Campari America’s Trade Advocacy Lead, comments: “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. 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!”

ABOUT CAMPARI
Campari, the iconic, unforgettable Italian red spirit sitting at the heart of some of the world’s most famous cocktails. Campari was founded in Milan in 1860 by Gaspare Campari, and pioneered by his son, Davide, who created something so distinctive and revolutionary that its secret recipe has not been altered since. Vibrant red in color, Campari’s unique and multi-layered taste is the result of the infusion of herbs, aromatic plants and fruit in alcohol and water. As well as being unique and distinctive, Campari is extremely versatile, offering boundless and unexpected possibilities. As a source of this passionate inspiration since its creation seen through its founders’ creative genius, artists in different fields and the world’s best bartenders, Campari stimulates your instincts to unlock your passions, inspiring limitless creations. For more information: www.camparigroup.com/en.

ABOUT THE NEGRONI
It was 1919 in Florence when Count Camillo Negroni contemplated ordering an Americano cocktail but decided it was time for a change. He requested it with a touch of gin instead of soda, inspired by his last trip to London and its prevalent gin scene. The bartender was pleased to honour Count Camillo Negroni’s request and added an orange garnish rather than the lemon wedge of the Americano to signify the new drink he had created. In Florence, the Count’s ‘usual’ became known as Count Negroni’s Americano, or the “Americano with a touch of gin,” and as such, the Negroni was born. Featuring Campari at the heart as an official ingredient, the Negroni is now one of the most loved cocktails in the world’s best bars. Boasting a perfectly balanced combination of equal parts Campari, gin and sweet vermouth, this deliciously decisive cocktail has a rich history, telling the story of its iconic, Italian roots that have led it to be such a classic cocktail globally. The International Bartenders Association (IBA) lists Campari as an official ingredient of the Negroni, and thus, there is no Negroni without Campari! For more information visit www.campari.com.

It’s no secret that hard work is an integral part of American values. A recent survey from Mike’s Hard Lemonade reveals that more than half of employed Americans consider their jobs to be more demanding than those of others. This dedication to the grind makes challenging work seem effortless.

But does a hard day of predicting weather, tasting food, or acting deserve a Mike’s Hard Lemonade? According to Lamorne Morris, the answer is a resounding yes. Join Mike’s Hard Lemonade at the Mike’s Jobstacle Course, an interactive pop-up event that makes hard days a little sweeter.

Partnering with hard-working actor Lamorne Morris, Mike’s Hard Lemonade is hosting the Mike’s Jobstacle Course to showcase that even seemingly “easy” jobs have their challenging moments. Scheduled just before Labor Day on August 20 in New York City—a city known for its hustle—the event gives participants a chance to experience what different jobs are like. Think being a weatherperson or a bookseller is a breeze? Think again. Participants (21+ only) will get a taste of these deceptively challenging jobs, proving that every occupation has its hard moments.

Those who complete the Jobstacle Course will enjoy light bites, Mike’s Hard Days Rewards swag, and a refreshing Mike’s Hard Lemonade as a well-deserved reward. The event takes place at 477 Broadway from 2-8 p.m. ET. To participate, RSVP at mikesjobstaclecourse.eventbrite.com.

Lamorne Morris, the event’s host, knows a thing or two about hard work. “I’ve had a lot of jobs—from restaurant server to big-box retailer clerk and telemarketer. All jobs can be surprisingly tough in different ways. After a hard day, there’s nothing better than an ice-cold Mike’s Hard Lemonade,” said Morris.

Mike’s Hard Lemonade surveyed employed Americans about their jobs, revealing that 52% perceive their jobs as harder than others, 50% consider their job the hardest part of their day, and 85% believe they deserve a reward after a hard day’s work.

“At Mike’s, we celebrate the hard work of our consumers who give their all every day. They deserve to be rewarded,” said Kevin Brady, Vice President of Marketing, Mike’s Hard Lemonade. “As Labor Day approaches, we want to honor that effort because a hard day deserves a refreshing-tasting Mike’s Hard Lemonade.”

The Mike’s Jobstacle Course is part of the brand’s Hard Days Deserve a Hard Lemonade campaign, launched in May for Mike’s 25th Anniversary. Learn more and RSVP at https://mikesjobstaclecourse.eventbrite.com or follow @MikesHardLemonade on Instagram & Facebook.

About La Marca Prosecco

Founded more than 50 years ago, La Marca is the leading Prosecco from Italy* and represents a cooperative of 5,000 local winegrowers farming 35,000 acres in the Veneto region of northern Italy. From La Marca’s home in Treviso, Italy’s Prosecco capital, La Marca Prosecco elevates everyday moments with a crisp, refreshing style that pairs beautifully with friends and various foods. La Marca Prosecco boasts a pale, golden straw color and lively effervescence. It opens with aromas of fresh citrus and honeysuckle blossoms, delivering fruity notes of green apple, juicy peach, and ripe lemon, accented by hints of minerality. The finish is light, refreshing, with a tantalizing hint of sweetness. La Marca Prosecco charms as an aperitif and has the body and acidity to pair well with seafood, mild cheeses, rich pasta dishes, and decadent desserts.

Here, recreation is more than an outing, it’s an adventure with incomparable beauty. Hikers and bikers can trek more than 180 miles of spectacular outdoor trails, golfers enjoy their pick of champion courses, and recreational options abound— with scenic day trips to the picturesque Zion National Park, Red Rock Canyon State Park and its historic rock formations, and last but not least, Lake Mead, home to the iconic Hoover Dam.

Begin your recreational feast with nine courses—golf courses, that is—which include the Jack Nicklaus-designed gem at Lake Las Vegas. An alluring backdrop for golf, the lake’s brilliant blue waters also offer a refreshing plunge into kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, flyboarding, and even yacht cruises. Back on land, hiking and biking trails stretch out across the City, ribbons of exploration threading through suburban streetscapes and through dramatic mountain and desert vistas. Take your pick from easy, intermediate, challenging and even equestrian trails.

The same is true for dining. In a City where food is a passion and every meal a celebration, diners enjoy a bountiful array of choices, from acclaimed chefs throughout Henderson and the City’s Water Street District – a historic street lined with breweries, retail and restaurants specializing in flaming fajitas to flavor-packed steaks, from robust and upscale Italian flavors to sports bar fare elevated to an art. You won’t want to miss the many picture-worthy and locally inspired murals while strolling Henderson’s original downtown.

A tasting tour of the Ethel M chocolate factory is another sweet treat, and in the aptly named Artisan Booze District, where spirits are indeed both an art and a craft, you can sip and savor your way through a brilliant lineup: Original brews in pubs like Crafthaus Brewing as well as handcrafted, small-batch wines at Vegas Valley Winery, where tours and a tasting room are special draws.

When you’re ready to relax, Henderson is home to many premier hotels such as the M Resort and Spa, Green Valley Ranch Resort Spa and Casino and lakeside hotels surrounding Lake Las Vegas, including Hilton Lake Las Vegas Resort and Spa and The Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa.

With diverse recreational options, exceptional dining experiences, and comfortable accommodations, visitors can custom tailor their visit to suit their needs and preferences. Whether you’re a family seeking a fun-filled getaway or a business traveler in need of a restful retreat, Henderson is the ideal destination for you.
