Cider Lowball Craft Cocktail
We believe in taking inspiration from the classics and giving them a refreshing update. Our Bartender’s Special for November is the Cider Lowball, and it does just that.
The Cider Lowball is inspired by the classic whiskey sour. Vanilla, Benedictine and unfiltered apple cider create a nostalgic and familiar flavor that’s both refreshing and surprisingly familiar. The Cider Lowball takes its name from the glassware used. Commonly referred to as a “bucket” or “rocks” glass, this glassware has also been referred to as a “lowball” or “old fashioned” glass.
The Cider Lowball is a perfect fall-inspired cocktail to add into your drink repertoire any time of year.

It’s Primetime for California Spiny Lobster in Las Vegas
Even in a landlocked city in the desert, hundreds of miles from any ocean, Water Grill Las Vegas offers high quality and value, bringing in the season’s first catch, multiple times each week.
In a recent appearance on the Las Vegas CBS affiliate, KLAS, Executive Chef Jeffrey Moreto shared Wild California Spiny Lobster at the start of the season, including education and preparation tips on this unique and original California seafood experience.
“We like to feature our first-of-season program where we highlight what season has [recently] opened and what's readily available. California Spiny Lobster season [is here] and we’re one of the few restaurants on the strip that offer this product.”
California Spiny Lobster season opened up in early October and will typically run through March. This seasonal West Coast specialty can be prepared several ways. Chef Moreto explains how there’s no need to over-do it.
“We do a simple preparation and let the seafood speak for itself. So, we keep it very simple.”
