Tourment Trance Moon Nightclub $12

Tourment Trance

Ingredients And Method:

Combine equal parts Le Tourment Vert Absinthe, Apple Pucker and cranberry juice over ice, as well as grenadine to taste. Shake and strain into shot glass.

As the signature drink of Moon’s newly christened Satellite Bar house room, the Tourment Trance shot is just one of N9NE Steakhouse bartender Dave Herlong’s many space-inspired absinthe cocktails (along with the aptly named Astro Pop Shot, Saturn’s Ring Martini and the Sonic Bomb). The Palms has led the charge in Vegas, helping to bring absinthe to the people since its legalization in Nevada, making it the No. 3 seller on-property behind Grey Goose and Patron. Working a Grammy party and an Oscar party at Madonna’s pad, Herlong reports whipping up his cosmic cocktails for A-listers like Tom Cruise, Diddy, David Spade, Cameron Diaz and Ellen DeGeneres … you know, just to name a few.
