Those NASCAR racers won’t be driving 55 and neither should you. Cabo Wabo Cantina at the Miracle Mile Shops is featuring the Can’t Drive 55, a blend of Cabo Wabo blanco tequila, Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum, vodka, gin, four fruit juices and a touch of amaretto Disaronno for $15. It’ll be available all weekend, as will beer buckets and shot specials. And on Thursday, you can quaff while watching the Hauler Parade from Cabo Wabo’s Strip-side patio.
The signature Mr. Tang cocktail of the MGM Grand’s new high-end Chinese restaurant China Tang, named after its founder Sir David Tang, is a play on the 19th-century Improved Brandy Cocktail.
This Hell’s Kitchen cocktail, while in the Manhattan family, is actually a cross between a Little Italy and a Paper Plane that is smoked for good measure. While few of us have a proper smoking box lying around the house, enjoying a Smoke on the Boulevard cocktail near a campfire, fireplace or wood-burning stove and passing the glass through the smoke might tide you over until you can score a reservation at Gordon Ramsay’s new Caesars Palace hot spot.
No need to order snacks for the table when purchasing a pitcher of bloody marys at the new Gramercy restaurant Kitchen Table Squared.

Fernet Branca, a longtime mixologists’ favorite for late-night hard partying, has begun making its way into cocktails, where its many herbal flavors get some room to mingle.
The first thing you notice about this bubbly drink — a signature cocktail of Hawthorn Grill inside the JW Marriott — is the way the dry Champagne contrasts the sweet berries, playing to opposite ends of your palate without intermingling much. The bitters also offer a slight, but significant, hint of citrus on the nose in the Raspberry Royalle.
Dash the winter blues and celebrate Hanukkah with the Eight Crazy Nights cocktail at La Cave Wine Food Hideaway at Wynn Las Vegas.
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
Since downtown doesn’t have a dedicated tiki bar, Pizza Rock is the best place to get your Polynesian drink fix. The Freaky Tiki offers all the key ingredients: multiple types of rum, fruit juice and a cool glass.
