The cocktail is no longer a cocktail. It's flaming tiki bowls of roiling red juice at the Peppermill or 30-ounce berry-infused vodka elixirs sucked from a jar at the Hard Rock pool. It's a $1,000 cocktail sipped with steak at BOA Steakhouse or 60-ounce "muddled" martinis, stirred and then shaken at Blush. Like most things in this over-the-top town, Vegas cocktails are a phenomenon that other cities would find tough to match.
Blush recently opened at Wynn and is serving fruit-infused alcohol known as "fresh shots." The choices are strawberry-pineapple, cantaloupe-honeydew-watermelon and lemon-lime-orange. They are muddled with a wooden spoon and shaken in a behemoth 60-ounce martini shaker before being strained and poured into shot glasses ($35 for the whole shaker).
