Negroni Week, Intl.: September 21-27 (est)

06:20 AM | -

Negroni Week celebrates the classic Italian cocktail known for its distinctively bitter flavor profile, which some find to be an acquired taste. The Negroni has become a staple in the craft cocktail scene, often used as a benchmark to assess the quality of a bar or bartender. The week's activities benefit the non-profit Slow Food, a global movement in 160 countries of local communities and activists seeking to change the world through healthy food and beverage that is good for the planet. The exact origin of the Negroni is debated, with the most widely accepted story originating the drink in Florence, Italy, around 1919. According to the tale, Count Camillo Negroni asked a bartender to strengthen his favorite drink, the Americano, by replacing the soda water with gin. The bartender also added an orange garnish rather than the traditional lemon garnish of the Americano to signify that it was a different drink. From there, the Negroni was born. Recipe: The Negroni is a simple cocktail with equal parts of gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. Combine the gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth into an ice-filled cocktail shaker to make a Negroni. Shake and strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice. Garnish with an orange peel or slice. Variations of the Negroni include the: Boulevardier—bourbon or rye whiskey replaces gin. Negroni Sbagliato—prosecco or sparkling wine replaces the gin. White Negroni—uses Lillet Blanc or Cocchi Americano instead of vermouth and Suze in place of Campari. With its beautiful red hue and distinctive flavor, Negroni remains a beloved classic in the cocktail world. Whether you enjoy it as an aperitif or a digestif, its bold and balanced flavors will leave an impression.

Neighbor Day, Intl.: September 28

06:20 AM | -

From the champion, Nextdoor: "What's one small thing a neighbor did for you this week? If there's anything we've learned in our years of neighboring at Nextdoor, it's that neighborhoods are built on small, simple actions: The coffee shop owner who greets you by name every morning. The stranger who lets you go first in line at the pharmacy. The neighbor who waves from across the street. We want to hear more about the simple things you and others do to play a part in your neighborhood. Submit a story about a neighbor who inspires you, and we'll share some favorites and recognize them on National Neighbor Day, September 28th. We've seen the power neighborhoods have when we tap into them — especially in unprecedented times like these. We've been moved by the change that can come from the smallest neighborly gestures. It's why we're declaring September as Neighbor Month. It's a time to celebrate how neighbors have come together, in ways big and small, as so many have faced difficult challenges this year. Neighbors coming together also inspired Nextdoor's new look, which reminds us how powerful a simple wave can be. Here are a few neighbors who have inspired us recently: The neighbor in Madrid, Spain who created a Nextdoor group for others who were quarantined alone and quickly found 227 kindred spirits to keep him company virtually. The California grocery store owner who saw local volunteers sign up to help manage social distancing in line to keep his business open during the pandemic. The British woman who offered to make home cooked meals for neighbors in need and soon found herself delivering 150 dinners a week with the help of others nearby. As part of Neighbor Month, Nextdoor is also kicking off a series of conversations about the future of neighborhoods — and how gestures that start small can lead to big change. Stay tuned for details on how to participate here. https://nextdoorstory.com We look forward to hearing more about how you and your neighbors find simple ways to come together. Thank you for taking the time to make your neighborhood better." Sarah Friar, Nextdoor CEO
