The Vault welcomes some special friends to its house in July in the form of a guest series called Liquid Legends, a mix of notable bartenders, writers and historians who helped define the modern cocktail culture.
“We want it to be fun; we don’t want it to be a seminar or class where you have to sit and take notes,” says Craig Schoettler, curator of the series and MGM’s executive director of beverage. “All the personalities that we have coming are very different and different styles. … You can try their own creations on the menu for rest of the month. They’ll entertain, walk around, meet people and share knowledge of cocktails.”
July 10-11 welcomes acclaimed bartender Joaquín Simó, who helped define and revive New York’s modern cocktail renaissance. Simó’s résumé includes creating the popular modern classic cocktail, the Naked & Famous, as well as serving on the opening team at Death & Co., Manhattan’s famed speakeasy, and helping to open and establish the award-winning New York bar, Pouring Ribbons.
Simó’s Liquid Legends two-night event includes him sharing stories and knowledge while bringing the New York cocktail culture to Vegas visitors. He’ll interact with guests, discuss how classic cocktails have been reinvented over the decades and create a special cocktail menu using The Vault’s vast inventory of spirits, some rare and vintage.
