Bellagio Resort & Casino has welcomed a
new mixology program to the AAA Five Diamond resort, elevating the cocktail
culture and beverage offerings for guests to new levels. Designed by Bellagio
Assistant Director of Beverage and Master Mixologist Ricardo Murcia and his
team of mixologists and bartenders, bar menus at Petrossian Bar, Pool Bar and
Baccarat Bar feature a collection of artisanal cocktails made with fine
spirits, hand-squeezed juices and house-made syrups. Each bar’s individual
cocktail selections present exclusive offerings that reflect the elegance of
the iconic resort.
“As
we crafted the new mixology program, it was important to focus on very specific
details of each offering,” said Murcia. “Beginning with the texture of the menu
paper, we worked step-by-step, evaluating the style of glassware, garnish
colors, menu layout design and unique tools we use behind the bar. In doing so, we have elevated each touch
point of the guest experience and have provided a very special and exclusive
experience.”
A new
program feature is Petrossian Bar’s cocktail menu, which includes
Bellagio-branded fruit garnishes and individual ice cubes beautifully crafted
into diamonds, a nod to the resort’s elite AAA recognition. The menu is
separated into three categories: Mixology Collection, Bellagio Classics and
Hand Selected Aged Barrel. Conveniently located near the Bellagio lobby, the
bar’s offerings include:
Mixology
Collection
In
the Mixology collection, guests will find creations specific to Bellagio,
straight from the imaginations of its talented team of industry experts.
•
Staying true to the Russian tradition of pairing caviar with vodka, the Caviar
Cube Martini is a refined take on a martini, prepared with Beluga Gold Line
vodka, ultra-premium Russian vodka made from naturally fermented grain, and
Siberian artesian spring water filtered through silica sand and silver
purification. The luxury spirit is combined with Noilly Prat dry vermouth and
garnished with a skewer of Petrossian Caviar.
• The
Perfect Gin & Tonic takes the well-known mixed drink to the next level by combining
Hendrick’s gin with Fever Tree premium tonic water, serving it over diamond shaped ice and
garnishing it with slices of fresh cucumber and a kaffir lime leaf garnish.
Along with making a great
conversation piece, the diamond shaped ice melts slowly, allowing guests
to sip and savor the libation without compromising its extraordinary flavor.
• The
gin and tonic also gets a modernized makeover with the May Gin & Tonic, a
delightfully frothy blend of Bombay Sapphire East gin, Cointreau, cream, egg
whites and fresh-squeezed citrus juices topped with Fever Tree premium tonic
water and a dash of orange bitters.
Bellagio
Classics
The
Bellagio Classics offer an assortment of well-known favorites such as the
Cosmopolitan and Mai Tai crafted with a modern twist. The Miami Mojito offers
layers of refreshing flavors beginning with Zaya rum, a smooth spirit distilled
in copper pots and aged for 12 years in oak barrels to maximize its richness
and complexity. Mint leaves are lightly muddled to release the herb’s natural
essence and prevent bitterness-causing bruising, hand squeezed lime juice is
added and the concoction is topped with a generous helping of crushed ice, a
fresh mint sprig and a dusting of powdered sugar.
Hand
Selected Aged Barrel
This
section features cocktails crafted with bourbon, whiskey and tequila chosen
from the individualized barrel programs at a variety of distilleries, making
each spirit exclusive to Bellagio. Selections such as the Barrel-Aged Negroni
feature fruit peel garnishes branded with the Bellagio “B,” to complete the
personalized experience.
The
Petrossian Bar cocktail menu also features descriptors such as, “sweets” and
“secrets” in order to encourage interaction between guests and bartenders. A
few of the unveiled “secrets” to get the conversation started include:
• All cognacs are served over
diamond-shaped ice
• Flavored syrups are infused in house
using Bellagio’s own exclusive recipes
• The menu features award-winning
cocktails created by Bellagio’s bartenders
• All cocktails are served in Spiegelau
glassware, imported from Italy
