"Atomspheric River" drink created for season at Harrah's and Harveys

Rivers have flooded, the lake is filling and snow is covering the slopes because of the several atmospheric rivers to hit Lake Tahoe this winter. To celebrate the epic season, the Beverage Department team at Harrah’s and Harveys Lake Tahoe concocted a cocktail to honor and celebrate the winter.

The "Atmospheric River" drink "blends the frosty peaks of the Sierra Nevada with the stunning shades of blue found only at Lake Tahoe," said John Packer of Harrah’s and Harveys Lake Tahoe.

Named for the climatic condition that has held sway in northern California and Nevada for the past few months, the "Atmospheric River" combines fruit juices, vodka, cognac and other ingredients to produce one of the most refreshing adult beverages of the season.

The festive cocktail is available exclusively at the two California Bars, located on the main floor of both casinos in Stateline, Nevada.

Their master mixologists combine Grey Goose Vodka, Hpnotiq Liqueur, Cointreau, Curacao, Sweet and Sour with Seven-Up, blend it with ice and serve it up in a chilled, sugar-rimmed martini glass.

It's a "drought-busting libation."
