Try this gorgeous cocktail flight on the Las Vegas Strip — VIDEO
Bar Centro at Bazaar Meat by Jose Andres recently launched Flight Unknown. It features five cocktails developed with creative backstories and innovative techniques.
Cocktails include the Cava Sangria Sphere served on an airplane-shaped spoon, the LN2 Caipirinha served frozen, Benjamin Franklin’s recipe for Milk Punch, a Foggy Hill Negroni with orange tea fog and the Blurred Borders. The flight concludes with a mini version of Porrón, the traditional Spanish wine pitcher. The flight is available at the bar for $55.
The Blurred Borders combines Mexican ingredients with the spirit of a New Orleans Sazerac. It benefits from the aroma of smoke and absinthe.
