The warm weather of
spring is here, and soon the temperatures in Las Vegas will be soaring into the triple
digits! Get out of the heat and into the
cool, rich surroundings of Morton’s The Steakhouse with a Palm Beach Infusion or a variety of
refreshing cocktails and Heavenly Mortinis.
“Morton’s bartenders mix cocktails with only the best ingredients
available,” said Daniel Hurst,” general manager of Morton’s The Steakhouse in Las Vegas. “The Palm
Beach Infusion is made with fresh pineapple and mint,
which makes it a great choice for the warmer weather. Guests can choose from our award-winning wine
menu, signature Mortinis or any favorite drink.”
The Palm Beach
Infusion brings visions of summer days relaxing with a chilled cocktail at the
pool. Why not mix a batch for the next
barbecue, pool party or an afternoon treat?
The “Morton’s Steak Bible,” co-written by co-founder of Morton’s The
Steakhouse Klaus Fritsch, is filled with great cocktail recipes, appetizers,
entrees and desserts, as well as easy-to-follow directions for the at-home
bartender and chef.
