Las Vegas hotel dining destination The Cosmopolitan has unveiled a brand new cocktail program at its multi-level bar The Chandelier
The Chandelier at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas has unveiled a new cocktail program. The multi-level bar’s new menu looks to be as “bold and dazzling as the 2-million-crystal structure that houses it.” Designed by The Cosmopolitan’s Head of Mixology Gedeon Tsegaye, the new drinks menu looks to “elevate the guest experience on every level.” with each floor offering its own curated collection of cocktails.
“For years, The Chandelier has been a place where Las Vegas guests experience mixology in its most artistic form,” says Tsegaye. “This new program has reconceptualized how a cocktail can tell a story, engaging all the senses, and will transport guests through an unforgettable journey of flavor, innovation and elegance.”
Three Levels of Experience
Level Two: The Art of Bubbles
Guests are invited to begin their journey at the top floor where they are greeted with sparkles. Titled The Art of Bubbles, the menu for Level Two emphasizes champagne-forward cocktails that are force-carbonated to order and punctuated by seasonal flavors and modern twists on classic recipes. The Artful Libations include the They Not Like Us (a carbonated mango Mai Tai with turmeric, orgeat and Manzanilla sherry); and the Burgundy My Strawberry (a clarified, strawberry-forward milk punch with designer ice).
Level 1.5: The Cocktail Party
Level 1.5 at The Chandelier offers a twist on a classic cocktail party. There, the menu embraces a gourmet-inspired approach, exploring the contemporary American drinking culture through modernist methods such as clarification and aromatic foams. Modernist Cocktails include the My Friend Daiquirita (a clarified, carbon-negative cocktail using Batiste Agricole Rhum) and the cherry blossom-inspired Nice Blossoms, Sakura (featuring clarified lime juice and a sakura vermouth espuma (foam)).
Level One: The Classic Cocktail
The speakeasy-inspired bottom level of The Chandelier looks to transport guests to a time of secrecy and indulgence. Inspired by Prohibition, this level focuses on spirit-forward cocktails with bold, rich flavors designed to leave a lasting impression. New Classics include Some Reading Material (a high-proof, pot-stilled play on the classic Sazerac featuring Old Portero Rye Whiskey with a kiss of Jamaican rum and chocolate bitters) and the PM Per Diem )a nod to the classic Rob Roy featuring Macallan 12-year scotch, Crown Royal, rich Italian vermouth and Drambuie).
For Alcohol-Free Guests
Each level of The Chandelier also features a curated selection of non-alcoholic cocktails. Each of these drinks also looks to offer the flavors and approach seen on each floor, ensuring that every guest can partake in The Chandelier’s drinking experience. Non-alcoholic highlights include Mr. Orangesicles Nippy Mood (a nostalgic nod to a food court favorite featuring Lyre’s Dark Cane Spirit blended with Hazelnut Orange, cream, Alepo Pepper, and Fever Tree club soda) and the Sparkling Maui Wowie (Lyre’s Agave Spirit with pineapple, mint, fresh lime and Lyre’s sparkling wine).
Signature Cocktails
Each floor also features the Signature Cocktails menu, which includes drinks that offer a reverential tip of the hat to The Chandelier’s previous mixology talent. The Butta-Fly-For-Eva mixes Tequila Ocho Blanco, Vago Espadin Mezcal and Blue Agave with lime and yuzu emulsion; while the Rare Characters-R-Us features Rare Character Single Barrel Whiskey with Amaro Nonino, Alessio Chinato Vermouth and Hungarian Oak that’s smoked tableside.
“We’re defiantly flexing our modernist muscle here, streamlining our production to allow for efficient, consistent execution while pushing the boundaries of flavor and presentation,’ adds Tsegaye. “Whether it’s the bubbles, the foams, or the bold flavors, our guests will be blown away by what they see—and taste.”
Level 2 of The Chandelier is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. and Friday through Sunday from 9 a.m. through 3 a.m. Level 1.5 is open daily from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Level 1 is open daily, 24 hours. For more information, head over to the bar’s official website.
