Surf Your Way Into The Holiday Season At This Christmas Tiki Bar In Texas
This year, Santa has decided to skip Christmas and jet off to a tropical paradise instead. Luckily, that island happens to be right here in Texas! Renowned cocktail personality Jeff “Beachbum” Berry and award-winning bartender Brad Smith have joined forces to create Sippin’ Santa. This seasonal pop-up – a companion to the ever-popular Miracle – features a combination of holiday and island décor, and it’s coming to four bars in the Lone Star State.
Hop on your surfboard and ride the waves into the holiday season at Sippin’ Santa, a Christmas-themed tiki bar with 36 locations across the U.S.
Santa has traded out his usual fur-trimmed getup for a Hawaiian shirt, straw hat, and sandals, and he's ready to lounge on the beach with a cocktail in hand.
Much like Miracle, Sippin' Santa boasts a hodgepodge of over-the-top holiday lights and decorations that would give Clark Griswold a run for his money.
The only difference is that, here, some of those lights are tiki torches, and in between all the snowmen and reindeer, you'll see leis, colorful umbrellas, and a thatched roof over the bar.
The cocktails offer a unique blend of festive and tropical flavors, and it will be love at first sip for your taste buds.
Pictured here is the "Parrot in a Pear Tree," with Blanco tequila, applejack, pear liqueur, lime, cinnamon, falernum, and black walnut bitters. Bonus points for the seasonally appropriate name!
Other fan-favorite libations include "Rum Rum Rudolph," which features a shot of both overproof and pineapple rums plus coffee liqueur, and the "Kaloka Colada," a rum and pumpkin-spiced coconut cream drink.
It's such a fun way to celebrate the most wonderful time of year with loved ones.
