Our Drink of the Week is Mohegan Sun’s Casino Royale, a brand new specialty cocktail available at their premium lounge, novelle.

Novelle bartender, Samantha Kaplan created the Casino Royale using a mix of Bambu Rum, passionfruit, orange juice, agave lime, and cabernet sauvignon. The Casino Royale is a nod to Ian Fleming’s 1953 novel, Casino Royale which first introduced the seminal character of James Bond and the many rich stories that it has generated.

This rum-based cocktail is strong enough to stand alone, but pairs well with rich dishes specifically novelle’s Port Wine & Goat Cheese filled Arancini.
