SLS Las Vegas Casbar serves modern twist on classic Bobby Burns

SLS Las Vegas’ new bar harks back to the former Sahara’s Casbar Lounge, where performers such as Don Rickles and Duke Ellington once played. The cocktail menu features the traditional made modern, including this take on the classic Bobby Burns made with whiskey, vermouth and Benedictine. The drink is sweetened with banana liqueur, which pairs well with the obligatory side of butter cookies.
