All In

Roll the dice, take the shot — Vegas never sleeps and neither will you.

A bold, electric cocktail that mirrors the intoxicating chaos of a wild Vegas night — bright neon layers, a smoky whiskey backbone, a rush of citrus adrenaline, and just enough sweetness to keep you coming back for more. The edible gold shimmer dusted on top reflects those blinding casino lights, while the chili-salt rim delivers a surprise kick, just like Vegas always does. One sip and you're all in.

Ingredients

• 1.5 oz bourbon (smoky, e.g. Woodford Reserve)
• 0.5 oz mezcal
• 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 oz fresh blood orange juice
• 0.5 oz honey syrup (1:1 honey and water)
• 0.25 oz Campari
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• 1 dash cayenne tincture (or a pinch of cayenne)
• Large ice cube or sphere
• Chili-salt mix for rim (equal parts kosher salt, chili powder, smoked paprika)
• Edible gold shimmer dust (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the rim: Mix together kosher salt, chili powder, and smoked paprika on a small flat plate. Run a lemon wedge around half the rim of the glass, then dip that half into the chili-salt mixture. Set aside.
2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the bourbon, mezcal, lemon juice, blood orange juice, honey syrup, Campari, Angostura bitters, and cayenne tincture.
3. Fill the shaker with ice and shake hard for 12–15 seconds until well chilled.
4. Place a large ice cube or sphere into the prepared rocks glass.
5. Strain the cocktail over the large ice cube.
6. To flame the orange peel: hold a wide strip of orange peel skin-side out over the drink, hold a lit match between the peel and the glass, then sharply squeeze the peel to express the oils through the flame, creating a brief flash. Drop the peel over the ice.
7. Finish with a pinch of edible gold shimmer dust over the top of the drink for that Vegas glow.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly — just like Vegas (kidding).
