Everyone’s favorite holiday is here. It’s National Coffee Day and High Brew Coffee is excited to help us celebrate with 5 unique ways you can enjoy a day full of caffeinated goodness.

 

Franklin’s Espresso Barbecue Sauce

The BBQ sauce that changed Al Roker’s life has a sweet espresso kick that makes their BBQ and sauce so enticing. Pick some up here for dinner tonight.

 

High Brew Salted Caramel Martini

You can enjoy some High Brew Coffee straight from the can or… you can enjoy some in a late night Salted Caramel Martini Cocktail. Snag some High Brew from a local retailer and whip up this recipe for you and some friends to celebrate coffee into the wee hours of the morning.

 

Mocha Almond Cupcake

Fat Cats Mocha Almond Cupcake is sure to satisfy that coffee craving that hits mid-afternoon on National Coffee Day. Be a nice coworker and grab some for the office, although it will be hard to share!

 

Cold Brew Coffee Popsicle

You can pretend it’s still summer with Good Pop’s Cold Brew Coffee popsicle. Made right here in Austin, this local favorite is sure to hit the “coffee spot” at any time of day.

 

El Equinox

This hidden gem is a unique and delicious way to get your coffee fix in on National Coffee Day. El Taccorido has been whipping up the El Equinox to serve alongside their tacos for years now. This smooth blend of espresso and horchata is a hidden jewel within Austin. It wouldn’t be National Coffee Day without one!

 

 


National Coffee Day Facts

From the moment you open a fresh bag of coffee beans, the aroma beckons, percolating the senses. Even people who don’t drink coffee will admit they enjoy the fragrance of the world’s favorite roasted beans. Here’s a few interesting facts about coffee you should know:

  • According to an expert cupper (a professional coffee taster), there are four components of a perfect cup: aroma, body, acidity, and flavor.
  • The coffee bean affects the texture of the coffee, whether its silky, creamy, thick or thin on the tongue and throat. However, the darker the roast and how it is brewed will alter the feel of a coffee’s body, too.
  • The region a coffee is grown determines its acidity. The higher the elevation the coffee grows, the higher the quality and the acidity.
  • The earliest credible evidence of either coffee drinking or the knowledge of the coffee tree appears in the middle of the 15th century in the Sufi monasteries around Mokha in Yemen.
  • Brazil produces more coffee in the world than any other country followed by Colombia.
  • More than 50 countries around the world grow coffee, providing a variety of the world’s favorite black drink for connoisseurs to consume.

Caesars Entertainment Unveils Stunning Transformation with the Grand Opening of Caesars New Orleans

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
