Chandelier Bar in Las Vegas Has a Secret Drink: The Verbena - AFAR
"An off-menu signature cocktail called the Verbena—created more than a decade ago by former chef-mixologist Mariena Mercer—has become the bar program’s bestselling drink: a margarita-like mix of blanco tequila, yuzu, kaffir leaves, calamansi and ginger that’s spicy, fragrant and refreshingly unusual. Its theatrical flourish is a Szechuan button, an edible flower that produces a tingling, saliva-inducing sensation that primes the tongue to amplify the drink’s flavors. The multi-story bar offers distinct vibes on each level, with curated art exhibits and beaded curtains creating intimate nooks for sipping while watching the scene above and below." - Andrew Richdale
