For the first time ever, world-renowned bartender, Salvatore Calabrese will feature his cocktails on the Las Vegas Strip
Now open, the newest addition to The Cromwell Las Vegas’ luxurious lineup, Bound by Salvatore, brings a new meaning to the lobby bar experience. Salvatore’s more than thirty years of experience shines with perfectly executed classic cocktails, never-before-seen espresso cocktails, elegant champagne cocktails and signature creations.
Featured on the carefully-curated menu are Salvatore’s signature cocktails, many of which are iconic and are synonymous with the famous bartender. The Breakfast Martini comes from Salvatore’s wife insisting he eat breakfast, to which he replied with a gin cocktail mixed with the finest orange marmalade, the same topping he uses for his toast. Also featured is the Spicy Fifty, which combines the best of sweet and sour on the palate with a warm finish.
Selections of champagne cocktails showcase elegance and style, synonymous with those who drink them. Highlights from these bubbly creations are The Cromwell Fizz, comprised of Macallan Fine Oak Whiskey, lemon juice and orange bitters, topped with Moët & Chandon Impérial Champagne, fitting of its namesake, and the Bunny Bubbles, which pulls inspiration from certain iconic centerfold bunnies, and is made with raspberry puree and fresh pomegranate.
Designed around the notion that Las Vegas never sleeps, Calabrese has created exclusive- to-The Cromwell espresso cocktails, ideal for both night owls and early birds. Developed from an unusual method of producing the uniquely flavored coffees, these cocktails are served in a frozen traditional Italian Moka Pot. The espresso cocktails are not only distinctive in their taste, but also boast fun and humorous names like Keep Me Awake Bro and Never Say Goodnight.
The distinctive circular bar at Bound by Salvatore serves as the centerpiece for the elegant space. With gold and dark tones, the feeling of warmth and intimacy is felt throughout the area, along with subtle lighting and beautiful design. Plush seating and curtains surrounding the bar, allow for guests to separate themselves from the outside and enjoy themselves in a classic and sophisticated atmosphere. Bound by Salvatore is yet another example of the exclusivity of The Cromwell and how “nothing comes close to Cromwell.”
