Monkey Bar on Las Vegas Strip classes up the holiday cocktail — VIDEO
Leave it to SLS Las Vegas’ Monkey Bar, which is decorated with photos of impeccably dressed gorillas and apes, to class up the cliched minty/chocolatey holiday drink with the Peppermint Bliss cocktail. If the cognac isn’t enough to get skeptical beverage snobs to look past the crushed candy cane dust, the surprisingly complex Menta Fernet will do the trick.

■ 1/2 ounce Menta Fernet Vittone
■ 3/4 ounce Godiva Chocolate Liqueur
