When it comes to Las Vegas and martinis, nobody knows them better than Mayor Oscar B. Goodman.  Morton’s The Steakhouse in Las Vegas has honored Goodman with the “Oscartini,” which features Bombay Sapphire Gin, and has become a favorite on the restaurant’s signature cocktail menu.  For those bartenders at home, Morton’s is sharing the Mayor’s recipe for the “Oscartini” for special events, holiday parties or as the perfect cocktail for relaxing after a long day.

“The ‘Oscartini’ became a part of the Morton’s cocktail menu when Bar 12-21 opened in August,” said Daniel Hurst, general manager of Morton’s The Steakhouse in Las Vegas.  “Since we introduced the ‘Oscartini,’ it has become one of our guests’ favorite martinis.”
