Tough Luck Club's Negroni con Coca, pictured upstairs in the beer garden. 

You might want to bring along a designated driver for this one ... To kick off the start of Imbibe Magazine's negroni week, Tough Luck Club bartender Niklas Morris is mixing one of the biggest drinks of all time. 

He wants to put Tucson on the map by breaking a Guinness World Record. To do this, he's pouring 45 gallons of gin, Campari liqueur and sweet vermouth into a stainless steel vessel adorned with the Arizona flag. 

You can sip from the goblet of history tonight at 7 p.m. in the beer garden at Reilly Craft Pizza and Drink, 101 E. Pennington St. They're selling glasses of negronis for $9 downstairs at Tough Luck Club, and are also using them as a base for other cocktails like daiquiris. Another plus: $2 of your drink goes to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. 

And if you miss it, don't fret! As long as they don't run out, Tough Luck Club will sell the negronis all week.
