W ho doesn't love a gala? Or an apple for that matter? Offered exclusively in Asian-inspired restaurant Andrea's at Encore, the Crowned Apple cocktail combines Crown Royal's Regal Apple whiskey— made with Regal Gala apples—and Cardamaro amaro, a Moscato wine-based amaro that's infused with cardoon (a relative of the artichoke) and aged in oak. It all makes for an appley, slightly nutty, smooth drink that, topped with a lightly frothy crown, is fit for royalty. THE CROWNED APPLE 2 oz. Crown Royal Regal Apple whiskey 1 oz. Cardamaro amaro 3 ∕4 oz. freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 ∕2 oz. simple syrup White of one egg Cinnamon Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker without ice. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds to get the egg white incorporated and frothy. Add ice, shake again, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Top with a dash of cinnamon. ■ A GALA AFFAIR The Crowned Apple cocktail at Andrea's is a fresh pick this season. BY CHRIS STAVE 96 WYNN PHOTOGRAPHY BY JENNA DOSCH LAST CALL
