Casinos are places designed for gambling, but they’re more than just that. They also offer top-notch entertainment and a fine dining experience, often led by renowned chefs. Casinos also have bars, where the quality of the drinks is on par with the fine dining experience. Just like in the exclusive restaurants, casino bars are led by famous mixologists.

The number of cocktails you can have at the top casinos is astonishing. Of course, some are better suited to the activity than others. In this guide, we’ll cover some of the best cocktails you can have while playing your favorite casino games.

Martini

Shaken, not stirred. We’re kidding with this famous James Bond line – you can ask for any martini when playing at casinos. Martini is one of the most popular casino choices worldwide. It’s synonymous with casinos thanks to James Bond, who never went on a winning streak without sipping his martini.

Martinis are made with gin and vermouth, with a lemon twist and an olive as garnish. It’s a simple drink you can order anywhere in the world, or even make at home and enjoy your favorite games on Casinofy.com. The great thing about making it at home is that you can adjust the strength any way you want to, so you don’t get too ahead of yourself while spinning the top online slots.

Bloody Mary

Here’s another classic cocktail that’s best enjoyed in casinos. It has a real kick thanks to the tomato juice and the generous amount of vodka. Bloody Marys are refreshing, and might just be what you need while playing at a casino.

The popular cocktail is made with vodka, tomato juice, lemon juice, Tabasco, and Worchester sauce. The usual garnish consists of celery. And yes, that’s a bit of an unusual combo, but it works great and is tasty and refreshing. This cocktail is considered great for stomach aches and a miracle hangover cure. So, if you had a rough night at the casino earlier, this refreshing concoction might be a lifesaver. With a clear head, you’re sure to make better decisions.

Gin and Tonic

If you like your cocktails simple and classy, there’s no better one than gin and tonic. As the name suggests, it’s not as colorful a cocktail as many others, but it’s just as refreshing and tasty. Plus, you can tell the bartender to make it strong or weak per your preferences.

Gin and tonic has a long history. The mix was used as a sterilizer and as a cure for malaria in the past. It originated in India, where it was created by the British East India Company in the XVIII century. Centuries later, it’s one of the most popular drinks around the world in any bar and casino. You can get it in many combinations and flavorings, so go wild and have fun with your favorite games.

Old Fashioned

Here’s one of the casino classics that never go out of style. While it may not be as popular as martinis or Bloody Mary, the Old Fashioned cocktail is a casino classic.

It’s made with whiskey, bitters, water, and muddled sugar. This creates a perfect savory-sweet combo, and it’s often served with a big ball of ice. Many have described this cocktail as a perfectly balanced sip, and there are twists with citrus fruits and cherries that can take the experience to a whole new level.

If you haven’t tried it so far, you may have to do so now. Just reading the description of the ingredients always makes us crave it.

Long Island Ice Tea

It’s called an ice tea, but it’s more than just that. The Long Island Ice Tea is one of the most popular drinks you can have at casinos. It can be made with a real kick, or you can sip it in a weaker version similar to ice tea. For the sake of responsible gambling, we’d go with the latter.

Renowned mixologists can add their own signature to this drink and make it even fancier. Served in a high ball glass or a martini glass, the Long Island cocktail is not just a great drink – it’s a looker too.
