More Excuses To Drink in Vegas: Fall Cocktails
Luxor's Noir Bar: Perfect for when it's cold outside.
Fall is in the air, which means it’s time for some autumn-inspired cocktails at some of the swankier lounges and nightclubs around Las Vegas.
Perhaps the best options are at the Downtown Cocktail Room at 111 Las Vegas Blvd., S., where punch (that’s right, folks, punch) has made a comeback just in time for football. A new fall menu debuted last week featuring three different punches.
This blogger’s personal favorite: the Downtown Milk Punch, a variation on that mentioned in Harry Craddock’s 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book, which calls for brandy, green tea, milk, pineapple and baking spices. All orders come in glass bowls, of course, each of which yields 32 four-ounce pours. The price: $75.
Another autumn drink worth your while: the carrot cake martini at Noir Bar inside Luxor Las Vegas. Complete with raisins, fresh carrot shavings, a lump of brown sugar, freshly ground nutmeg, and a cream cheese frosting-rimmed martini glass, the cocktail is quite literally dessert in a glass.
Mixologist Ken Hall says the secret ingredient to the drink is Toschi Nocello liqueur, a sweet walnut liqueur that mixes perfectly with equal parts of Van Gogh Vanilla Vodka, Bailey's Irish Cream, and Montechristo Spiced Rum to recreate the savory flavor of a gourmet carrot cake.
When it’s getting chilly in the Nevada desert, who says you can’t drink your dessert?
