Las Vegas Magazine decided to round up some favorite cocktails from past Friends With Benefits features. And the best part? You can still enjoy each one of these cocktails. It’s time to go get your drink on!
Bottom’s Up
Vanderpump Cocktail Garden, Caesars Palace
This cocktail, which serves many, is a mix of Cointreau, Grand Marnier, lime juice, agave juice, juiced strawberries, lime and orange wheels, strawberries, edible flowers, jalapeño slices and—wait for it—a 1-liter bottle of Casamigos Blanco tequila.
Heritage Manhattan
Tom Colicchio’s Heritage Steak, The Mirage
The Heritage Manhattan is mixed with Redemption Rye and Carpano Antica vermouth. The special touch—one that lends a smooth sweetness and smoky flavor—is the cherries that are hickory-smoked in the kitchen. A small bar spoon of the cherry syrup and garnish of a few of the smoked cherries make this twist on a classic truly unique.
Tangerine Mojito
Casa Fuente, The Forum Shops at Caesars
Besides serving the classic mojito, Casa Fuente also makes a refreshing tangerine mojito, a mix of Botran rum, simple syrup and muddled tangerines, mint and lime with a splash of soda. This has to be one of the best mojitos ever, ever tasted!
Hanami
Mott 32, The Palazzo
This popular, handcrafted cocktail is a mix of whiskey, gin, Umeshu and yuzu liqueurs, lime juice and sugar syrup, all topped off with ginger beer and a garnish of shiso leaf and a chrysanthemum.
Mother Superior
Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse, Flamingo
The cocktail menu is very rum-focused, with more than 50 brands—everything from the novice to experienced palate. A favorite cocktail is the Mother Superior, a blend of Flor de Caña 4-Year Extra Seco rum, grenadine, Luxardo maraschino liqueur and fresh pineapple juice.
