U.S.-based Christmas-themed cocktail bar "Miracle" has come to London as a special pop-up at Henrietta Hotel in Covent Garden for the second year in a row. They are serving up festive drinks in holiday glassware with an abundance of nostalgic 1970s-decade Christmas decor throughout the bar. Viontage Christmas cards, illustrations, photographs, gardlands, tinsel, lights, and ornaments are all on display. Some of the seats contain a warm fur blanket to complete the cozy winter feeling, and classic Christmas songs were being played. Anyone who visits will immediately be transported to the Christmas of their childhood.
I went along recently to Miracle to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere after I enjoyed my visit last year, which I posted about here: Christmas Cocktails @ Miracle at Henrietta
This year, they had a couple of new cocktails with a few of the old favourites. The SanTaRex comes in a T.Rex with Christmas hat glass, and it is a cocktail blended with Whisky, sherry, apple cider, lemon juice, hard cider, and apple bitters. Yippee Ki Yay Mother F*****r! is served in a glass shaped like Santa's trousers and boots and is made of different types of rum, orgeat, and pineapple. Gingerbread Flip comes in a festive glass and is made of Whiskey, gingerbread syrup, tiki bitters, egg, and ginger cookie crumbs.
My favourite cocktail of the three that I tried was the Yippee Ki Yay Mother F*****r! In addition to cocktails, the venue also serves small snacks to help absorb the cocktails, which do dangerously go to your head. Like last year, Miracle pop-up bar helped to get me in the Christmas mood.
