From November 28 to January 9, these hotel bars will transform into a winter wonderland decked out with twinkling lights, festive decor, and a menu of merry-making cocktails crafted by mixologist Julie Reiner, a judge on Netflix\u2019s Drink Masters and the creative force behind New York City favorites Clover Club, Milady\u2019s, and Leyenda.<\/p>\n
The cocktail menu will comprise eight drinks including:<\/p>\n
The Blitzen with Woodford Reserve Rye, Liquid Alchemist ginger apple spice syrup, and angostura bitters, served in a holiday ornamentSleigh Ride with Grey Goose Vodka, Italicus, lime, cranberry syrup, and soda water, served with light-up ice cubesEspress-Ho Ho Martini with Don Julio Reposado Tequila, Mr. Black coffee liqueur, and espresso, garnished with a mini MoonPie<\/p>\n

“After the incredible response to Blitzen’s Bar last year, I’m thrilled to return with Omni Hotels & Resorts to make this holiday season even more memorable,” Reiner says in a release. “Crafting cocktails for Blitzen’s is all about pushing the boundaries of tradition, and infusing classic holiday flavors with playful, modern twists – and this year’s menu delivers in the most fun and flavorful way.”<\/p>\n
Each hotel will also host holiday experiences including concerts, photos with Santa, and special holiday stay packages.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, November 29, Omni’s properties will simultaneously light their Christmas trees at 6 pm local time, marking the official start of the season, which also features the brand’s cherished annual hot chocolate ritual.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallas-based Omni Hotels is ringing in the holidays with an over-the-top cocktail experience that will debut at 27…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23066,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[4552,2283,1808,3330,634,423,82,84,83,16683,16684],"class_list":{"0":"post-23065","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-bakeries","9":"tag-cafes","10":"tag-chains","11":"tag-coffee","12":"tag-northeast-side","13":"tag-openings","14":"tag-san-antonio","15":"tag-san-antonio-headlines","16":"tag-san-antonio-news","17":"tag-taiwan","18":"tag-windcrest"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23065","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23065"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23065\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23066"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23065"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23065"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23065"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
