Oodles of Zoodles

Portion Control makes clean eating fun with their Bang Bang Chicken, made with fresh and zesty zucchini noodles tossed with lots of stir-fry veggies, grilled chicken, fresh ginger, garlic, and other spices, and finished with house-made firecracker sauce. Not too spicy, but wonderfully lathered in a delicious sauce. This would go well with a side order of brown rice. All dishes at Portion Control are freshly-prepared, preservative and additive free, non-GMO meals made with balance, nutrition, and convenience in mind. Now open in Las Vegas and Henderson.

Blood, Sand, & Fire

The inspiration for The Barrymore’s Blood, Sand, & Fire came from the scotch itself. Scotch and smoke have a natural tendency to complement each other, and while in the smoker, the smoke bonds to the spirit both in flavor and aromatics. It deepens the flavor of the cocktail and provides a fun visual experience at the same time.

• 3/4 oz Glenmorangie 10 yr.
• 3/4 oz Cherry Heering
• 3/4 oz Cocchi di Torino
• 3/4 oz Blood Orange Juice (fresh squeezed and filtered)
• Smoking vessel

Build in a mixing glass over ice and shake vigorously.  Strain into a brandy snifter.  Squeeze the essential oils from an orange peel and then discard.  Place into a smoking vessel and smoke with applewood chips. Deliver the drink in the vessel with the smoke intact.
