Mariena Mercer Boarini is an anchor of the Las Vegas resorts bar world and has a love for whimsical cocktails that reflect her desert home. She was inspired by the romance of Cachaa and the warmth and passion of Brazilian cuisine as well as its classic cocktail the Caipirinha. Enamored with alchemy, Mariena focused on the lushness, “hogo”, and passion of Avu, while balancing it with the brightness of passion fruit and exotic spices.
