If you’ve come to town to party, we’re certain you’ve encountered some of the city’s incredibly creative and experimental mixology programs, which feature some spirits you’ve never heard of before. Yes, Vegas is the perfect place to try something new, and at Spirits & Spice you can get that same experience, but nicely bottled and hand-labeled—ready to pop open in your hotel room or take home in your suitcase.
The vast array of liquor options here includes everything from tangerine gin and jalapeno liqueur to Amber Waves wheat whiskey. Unique flavors like hot pepper vodka or Southern sweet tea liqueur will satisfy the most adventurous drinkers, while high-quality classics like tequila añejo and American whiskey promise smooth sips.
For those of us who prefer to stay sober, worry not. This shop has more flavors of infused olive oils and balsamic vinegars than you can count on your fingers. Savory tastes like dill lemon extra virgin olive oil perfectly complement sweet vinegars like the caramelized onion balsamic. You’ll also find an assortment of handmade spice mixes like vodka-kissed tomato spice and tequila sunrise zest.
The best part of all of this, you ask? You can sample just about anything the store sells! Simply see one of the exceptional employees and let them know what you’re interested in trying and they’ll hook you up with a small sip and a ton of information. They can tell you where each product is produced, how it’s made and, if you’re extra nice and polite, they may even share their own personal recipes that they’ve invented with Spirits & Spice products.
Travelers with just a carry-on can still make out with TSA-approved bottles and sampler sets that make perfect souvenirs and gifts. Plus, if you come home with something you love, the store’s online marketplace offers the ability to restock until you’re able to make it back in town. Happy shopping!
