It’s no secret: Nevadans know how to mix it up and put it down. While casino-resorts and swanky lounges in Las Vegas, Reno, and beyond can whip up the best version of just about anything you’re thirsty for, there are a few unique, must-drink concoctions you’ll only find here.
Picon Punch
Nevada’s unofficial state cocktail—another culinary gift from the Basque country—is traditionally composed of a spritz of grenadine, plenty of Torani Amer, a lemon twist, a splash of club soda (unless you order it “Elko style,” sans soda), and a stiff brandy floater, all served over ice in an Irish coffee glass. Order it at every Basque joint mentioned above, as well as at Machi’s Saloon (Elko), Bruno’s Country Club (Gerlach), the Heydey Inn (Wellington), and many other Sagebrush Saloons throughout the Silver State.
Winnemucca Coffee
Everyone’s heard of Irish coffee, and there are certainly some great places to find it here (we’re looking at you, Genoa Bar & Saloon). But if you find the combo of whiskey and (let’s be honest) Folger’s a little rough on the taste buds, order your joe with an addition of brandy, anisette, and a lemon twist. This coffee cocktail was first poured by a Basque Immigrant who became the proprietor of the 1863-built Winnemucca Hotel back in the 1960s. While the historic inn is no more, the cocktail lives on at the Martin Hotel and Bakarra Basque Bistro (both in Winnemucca), Louis’ Basque Corner (Reno), and at many other bars around northern Nevada.
Nevada Martini
It’s neither shaken nor stirred (that’d be an explosive disaster), but it does come with olives. Sometimes quite a few of them—often stuffed with garlic, hot peppers, or blue cheese—all sinking to the bottom and waiting for you at the end of your big frosty mug of… American lager. The best olive selection we know of sits atop the bar at one of our favorite Sagebrush Saloons, Iggy & Squiggy’s Junction Bar at Holbrook Junction, located between Gardnerville and Topaz Lake. Pro Tip: Order one on a Friday to wash down some killer fried fish tacos.
