4th of July Cocktail at Nana, Dallas


V Spa's Hilton sibling – Nana Restaurant - has a fun 4th of July drink that will dazzle and ignite your taste buds.

Nana's "American Spirit" is a red, white and blue layered frozen cocktail featuring six liquors: smooth vodka (with fresh strawberry puree), wonderfully indulgent Godiva white chocolate, Malibu rum, Blue Curaçao, Chambord and Stoli Raspberry.

The patriotic "American Spirit" cocktail, available for $17.76 throughout the 4th of July weekend, may result in seeing stars, stripes . . . and fireworks! The recipe is below.

The best seat in Dallas to enjoy the dazzling "Fair Park Fourth" fireworks show is on the 27th floor of the Hilton Anatole at Nana, voted by Zagat as “Best Restaurant with a View.”
