By now, you’re probably well aware of a few great mocktail recipes. The wellness movement has pushed us into new and exciting territory, from Dry January drinks actually worth sipping on to non-alcoholic beers so good you can’t really tell them apart from their traditional siblings.
Well, here’s another option very much in that vein. It comes from the Las Vegas Strip, specifically Caesars Palace. It’s a spritz that has us thinking about spring as well as moderation beyond just this month. Perhaps you need another Dry January bit of inspiration. Perhaps you just want something interesting and non-alcoholic to drink.
What could be more refreshing in the Nevada desert than a good spritz? This one is as colorful as the city itself, seemingly aglow and served up for good measure. We can see why it’s become a favorite for locals and tourists alike in The Entertainment Capital of the World.
Get out to Vegas if you can, you deserve a vacation. While you’re there, unwind over a good meal, take in a show or two, and get a hike in out in Red Rocks. If you can’t, don’t worry, you can make this drink at home without too much effort.
