Omni Hotels & Resorts guests are invited to savor a taste of the holidays at a new seasonal pop-up, Blitzen's Bar, featuring quality drinks crafted by renowned mixologist, author, and bar owner, Julie Reiner. This whimsical, over-the-top pop-up is coming to 13 Omni property locations and leans into neon signs and kitchy decor to create a fun, cozy space for memory-making with friends and loved ones.
With a focus on beloved holiday flavors like rosemary, cranberry, pumpkin and apple, the menu features a dozen cocktails (including two non-alcoholic options.) Standouts include festively reimagined classics like The Blitzen, inspired by a rum negroni, and the Frost Bite, a seasonal spin on the pina colada.
Alongside its seasonally inspired drink selection, Blitzen's Bar serves up festive bites like Reindeer Nuggets, Ralphie's Nibbles, and Popcorn Garlands.
