Kouign-amann

Owned by the husband-and-wife team of Tami and Jaret Blinn, CRAFTkitchen is known for its handmade breads and pastries. When exploring San Francisco, Tami Blinn came across a store featuring different varieties of kouign-amann, a flaky, crackly cake from the Brittany region of France. They decided to bring the pastry to CRAFTkitchen, with their own version made with Niman Ranch ham, green onions, cheddar cheese, and a caramelized exterior. This specialty item is only available on the weekends, and it often sells out.

CRAFTkitchen, 10940 S. Eastern Ave., Henderson, 702-728-5828.

Caprese Smash

It’s not often that we see a salad-inspired cocktail, but this specialty drink from Pizzeria Monzú is a Caprese salad in a glass. Using Moletto gin, a tomato infused gin from the Veneto region of Italy, the flavors are bound to take you straight to Verona’s Piazza del Erbe.

• 1.5 oz Moletto gin 
• .75 oz Carpano Bianco vermouth 
• 1.5 oz grilled lemon sour 
• 3 cherry tomatoes 
• 3 basil leaves 
• 2 raspberries 
• 1 mozzarella ball 
• Fresh cracked pepper 
• Aged balsamic 

In a cocktail shaker, muddle two cherry tomatoes, two raspberries, and a dash of aged balsamic. Tear two basil leaves in half and drop into shaker. Now add the Moletto gin, Carpano Bianco, and grilled lemon sour. Lightly shake and pour over ice into a rocks glass. Garnish with a Caprese skewer (cherry tomato, basil leaf, and mozzarella ball) and top with fresh cracked pepper.
