Smoky Negroni: The smoky cocktail trend has been around for years at Hakkasan Restaurant inside the MGM Grand. The rum-based drink is served with crushed ice and a mint as garnish in a spooky Tiki-style glass that resembles a human skull. Mai Tai: You’ve probably had a sugary watered down version of a Mai Tai in a plastic cup somewhere, but to have one made right, venture to Rosina at the Palazzo - a haven for classic cocktails. The rum cocktail is churned by hand in crushed ice with a swizzle stick. Have fun with one of four swizzles that can be prepared tableside in a pitcher. Rum Swizzle: With a drink program put together by famed mixologist Tony Abou Ganim, you know any cocktail at Libertine Social is going to be good. Start with the house version, made with bacon-infused Wild Turkey 81, and continue from there.

Yardbird Old Fashioned: It’s no surprise that a Southern-style restaurant like Yardbird has a killer bourbon selection - including five takes on an Old Fashioned. It’s prepared perfectly at Herbs & Rye, an off-Strip industry clubhouse where other bartenders in Vegas go when off the clock. Holland House: Almost like a tart Martini, the Holland House blends subtle lemon and cherry flavors with Bols Genever, a Dutch spirit similar to gin. The Painkiller, first created in the British Virgin Islands back in the 70s, is given a makeover with a heavy dose of Pusser’s Rum, tropical fruit juices, coconut cream, fresh-ground nutmeg, and a dollop of Dole Whip, a frozen pineapple treat that was once only available at Disneyland. The Painkiller: Head to Chinatown where the Golden Tiki serves up plenty of kitsch and rum-fueled cocktails. Pink Flamingo Punch: Nothing says vacation like sipping this combo of Absolut Elyx, sparkling wine, dry vermouth, Aperol, strawberry syrup, and lemon juice in a flamingo-shaped decanter from Skyfall Cocktail Lounge on the 64th floor of the Delano. Its signature cocktail is like a cross between a Manhattan and an Old Fashioned, made with Gentlemen Jack, blood orange liqueur, and orange marmalade.įlight of Icarus: A few servings of this exotic variation on the Caipirinha, Brazil’s national cocktail, will almost certainly have you trying to fly toward the sun. The Barrymore: Tucked inside the Royal Resort near the north end of the Strip, The Barrymore is a true hidden gem in Las Vegas. The sweet and sassy cocktail is found (unsurprisingly) at bars throughout the Cosmopolitan. Cosmopolitan: Best remembered from its regular appearance on Sex and the City, this vodka-cranberry classic is the perfect compliment to another ladies classic in Vegas - the little black dress.
