world of herbs utilized in spirits and garnishes.” On the new menu you’ll find a range of flavors and complexity with a variety of core liquors, including: • The Watermelon Crush, combining Grey Goose Essences Watermelon and Basil vodka, Botanika Orange liqueur, lime and watermelon juices and watermelon Red Bull; • The Summer Trail, featuring American Harvest organic vodka, Pomp & Whimsy gin liqueur, lemon verbena syrup, Fever-Tree Elderflower Tonic and lemon juice; • The Apricot Al Fresco, which delivers a delicious sip with Russell’s Reserve 10 Year Bourbon, Luxardo amaretto, apricot purée, rosemary-mint syrup and lemon juice;
• The Sol de Verano, a delicious twist on an Aperol spritz, with Aperol aperitif, Ketel One Peach and Orange Blossom vodka, topped with Mionetto prosecco and a slash of passionfruit. Other options include the Blushin’ Paloma with Patron reposado, St-Germain liqueur and a float of Los Magos sotol, and the Hello Sunshine, with Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla gin, Yellow Chartreuse, marmalade and bergamot bitters. “These recipes lead to unforgettable olfactory memories—from the likes of zesty citrus lemon verbena and lemon balm to sweeter basil and woodsy rosemary—and perfectly refreshing combinations to cool off in the summer heat,” said Lafranconi. –Nina King Resorts World Las Vegas, 702.550.2333
