I have two Drinks! to get your fantastically legless this week however, I must first stop to brag; I'm going to Las Vegas! Woo and indeed hoo. Yes, I'm jealous of myself too but honestly, it's been forever since I've been overseas. I plan to make the most of it by also visiting New York. It won't be all play though, oh no, I promise to canvas bartenders and frequent cocktail hot spots all in the name of research for my next Drink! post. That way we all win.

Having never been Vegas I though it best to have options for keeping it nice but also allowing for seedier times. The bright lights and the back alleys as it were. So here's to having a sweet and pretty time in the desert paradise but to also getting down, getting a little bit grubby and perhaps a whole lot dirty.

Pretty Vegas
½ oz Blue Curacao
3 oz Cranberry juice
1 oz lemon juice
½ oz Midori
½ oz peach schnapps

Fill a stemless Martini glass with ice then pour in the above ingredients in the order listed. You can make the layers stand out more by pouring the ingredients down the back of a spoon into the glass, like a shooter. Drink!

Dirty Vegas
3 oz Citrus Absolut vodka
2 oz Sweet & Sour mix
1 oz orange juice
½ oz lime juice

As before, fill a stemless Martini glass with ice pour in the ingredients in the order listed. Drink!

(And no, there will not be an Elvis joke anywhere in this post!)
