Wynn Mixologist Mariena Boarini Takes Valerie Lee to Monaco

From this episode of Check In at Wynn, Wynn Master Mixologist Mariena Mercer Boarini, shows Valerie Lee what goes into her Monaco cocktail, available at Aft Cocktail Deck.
“Aft Cocktail Deck is a bar on the Lake of Dreams. It's truly magical. It is inspired by a luxury yacht. It's very experiential," she says.
The Monaco is a play on a spritz with lemon and basil vodka and elderflower liqueur. It is then garnished with Electric Dust.
Mercer Boarini also includes another special ingredient: butterfly pea flower. "It's a flower from Thailand that has a very low pH balance. Whenever it hits anything acidic, it does this really beautiful color change," she says. "I love art. I think cocktails should be art.”
