Taylor Swift inspires Super Bowl cocktails, dishes across Las Vegas
She’s got that red lip, classic thing that you like …
And during Super Bowl week, Chéri Rooftop will serve its own Red Lip Classic: a Taylor Swift-themed cocktail mingling Malibu Rum, Amaretto Disaronno and Baileys Strawberries & Cream liqueur.
The $20 Red Lip Classic takes its name, of course, from the singer-songwriter’s famously red lips that keep maquillage fans across the world speculating about exact shades.
Chéri Rooftop is the new nightclub and lounge, with a 9,000-square-foot terrace, nestled beneath the curving base of the replica Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas.
Beginning at 2 p.m. on Super Bowl Sunday, the lounge is also offering a viewing party with a hosted bar, game day foods and a dessert station. Pricing/reservations: cherirooftop.com.
Swifties wearing red lipstick who order the cocktail can leave traces of their own red lips on the glass. Classic.
