History

This cognac cocktail sings on the palate with cognac, subtle cherry, and zesty lemon acidity when perfectly balanced.

This drink is a variation on the classic Casino Cocktail, and its name references one of the most famous Las Vegas resort casinos. It was adapted from a recipe created in 2015 by Andrew Loudon at Satan's Whiskers in London, England.
