Las Vegas Cocktail Guide
Jan. 1 marks three notable holidays: New Year’s Day, National Hangover Day and, fittingly, Bloody Mary Day.
If you’re looking to share holiday cheer, this goblet is big enough to split among at least a few friends.
The Cosmopolitan’s newest restaurant, Red Plate, serves a cocktail that honors Chinese tea service.
Made with The Mob Museum’s Underground Moonshine, this warm cocktail combines coffee and gingerbread liqueur.
Those NASCAR racers won’t be driving 55 and neither should you. Cabo Wabo Cantina at the Miracle Mile Shops is featuring the Can’t Drive 55, a blend of Cabo Wabo blanco tequila, Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum, vodka, gin, four fruit juices and a touch of amaretto Disaronno for $15. It’ll be available all weekend, as will beer buckets and shot specials. And on Thursday, you can quaff while watching the Hauler Parade from Cabo Wabo’s Strip-side patio.
The signature Mr. Tang cocktail of the MGM Grand’s new high-end Chinese restaurant China Tang, named after its founder Sir David Tang, is a play on the 19th-century Improved Brandy Cocktail.
This Hell’s Kitchen cocktail, while in the Manhattan family, is actually a cross between a Little Italy and a Paper Plane that is smoked for good measure. While few of us have a proper smoking box lying around the house, enjoying a Smoke on the Boulevard cocktail near a campfire, fireplace or wood-burning stove and passing the glass through the smoke might tide you over until you can score a reservation at Gordon Ramsay’s new Caesars Palace hot spot.
