Originating in the tropics of the Caribbean, rum has a rich history as a cultural symbol of the island lifestyle. What better way to celebrate the splendor of rum this time of year than with a special menu dedicated to the perfect pairing of this tropical elixir? Home to the city’s largest rum collection, Tommy Bahama’s Restaurant & Bar at Town Square is offering its unique menu with an island spin throughout this festive holiday season found only in Las Vegas.
Purveyors of the island lifestyle and making the concept “Life is One Long Weekend” a reality, Tommy Bahama’s Restaurant & Bar’s Rum Pairing Menu features six mouth-watering courses each paired with a rum cocktail from the internationally-inspired collection.
The experience begins with the Big Island Goat Cheese, encrusted with warm macadamia nut, sweet soy glaze and mango salsa served with flatbread and paired with the first rum cocktail: Citrus Ginger Punch, a tropical take on the traditional rum punch featuring Appleton, 12 yr.
Next, enjoy Loki-Loki Tuna Poke, fresh ahi with guacamole, capers, soy and sesame paired with the Bangkok Smash cocktail.
The pairing continues with a Duo of Soups featuring crab bisque with sherry, cream and lump blue crab along with tortilla soup with ground corn tortillas, grilled chicken and lime sour cream. The soup twosome is paired with the signature Kracken Up rum cocktail.
Tommy’s rib rack with its smoky flavor follows and its own homemade blackberry brandy barbecue is boldly-paired with a Polynesian-inspired Mai Tai.
Then, a lighter take with old San Juan Shrimp and Scallop, pan-seared in a coconut curry sauce and paired with the palate-pleasing Swizzle This.
Top it all off with a sweet bite-sized duo of Piña Colada Cake and Triple Chocolate Cake paired with the popular classic hot buttered rum.
Tommy Bahama’s Rum Pairing Menu is available nightly for $90 per person. For reservations, call (702) 948-8006.
