Vegas-themed cocktail recipes
Here are the two Vegas-themed cocktail recipes, which our mixologist will create during the Saturday Night Dance Party:
Desert Heat
1.5 oz Vodka (Substitute Grapefruit Vodka for Additional Flavor)
1.5 oz Lime Juice
.75 oz Grapefruit Juice
.50 oz Cranberry Juice
.50 oz Simple Syrup
1-3 pcs Jalapeño Rings
Add all ingredients into a shaker tin filled with ice. Shake for 10 seconds or until well blended. Strain into a martini or stemmed glass. Float a jalapeño ring for garnish.
To make this alcohol-free, replace the vodka with soda water, grapefruit-flavored soda water, or grapefruit soda.

2.0 oz Bourbon
.50 oz Honey Syrup (recipe below)
.75 oz Lemon Juice
.75 oz Pineapple Juice
2 dshs Angostura Bitters*

If you want to bring ginger into your drink, drop it in a shaker tin with the honey syrup and muddle. Add the remaining ingredients to the tin and shake for 10 seconds, or until well blended. Strain into a lowball glass with ice or a large cube. Garnish with candied ginger or a pineapple wedge.
To make this alcohol-free, replace the bourbon with 3 oz of ginger beer.
Honey Syrup - Mix one part honey to one part hot water in a sealable jar. Shake until blended. For sweeter syrup, mix two parts honey, to one part water.
