Along the Las Vegas strip, it’s spritz season pretty much all year round. Over at the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian, summer is in full swing. Bars and restaurants are trying different takes on the classic Italian cocktail, both in non-alcoholic and traditional forms.
It may be a party most times in Sin City but we’re celebrating differently now. Sometimes, you just don’t want the consequences tied to conventional bar-going. So, as you ponder new and tasty non-alcoholic offerings, consider finding some good NA aperitivo and wine and mixing this drink up.
BOA Steakhouse set us up with a nice drink. It’s the kind of thing you enjoy during a warm afternoon or as you wait for your table if a bit early at the restaurant. Naturally, you can make it at home too, without too much hassle.
Essentially a three-ingredient cocktail, this one benefits from a good garnish and should be served on plenty of rocks to keep it good and cold. After all, it has to withstand the Vegas heat. Read on for the full recipe.
