BEHIND THE DRINK

The story & background

Apricot and lemon add brightness to a cognac sour. The name draws on a slower-paced evening away from the Strip.

Created for The Liquor Outlet collection in 2026, this is a Vegas-inspired home-bar original. It is not presented as a casino’s signature recipe.

Measure the citrus and sweetener before mixing. Fresh juice varies in acidity, so start with the recipe and make small adjustments only after tasting the finished drink.
