Omni Hotels & Resorts teamed up with Tiki Historian, cocktail author and restaurant owner Jeff "Beachbum" Berry to share the Tiki Social pop-up bar experience.
"Tiki has always been about transporting people, if only for a moment, to someplace sunny, breezy, and far from the everyday," said Berry. On the Tiki Social menu, there's The Coconutty Islander served in a fresh coconut, The Bitter Birdie, and The Tropical Tease, which marries ingredients like smoky mezcal with lemon, pineapple, and crème de cacao. In all, there are eight original cocktails and two zero-proof drinks.
While the Tiki Social pop-up can only be experienced at select properties, guests at all Omni properties can enjoy curated tropical cocktails from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day.
