In 2018 and 2019, I visited Henrietta Hotel in London's Covent Garden to enjoy Christmas-themed cocktails from U.S.-based pop-up bar Miracle. This is the fourth year that the pop-up bar has been in London. Miracle serve up a selection of festive alcoholic drinks in special glassware amongst Christmas decor. This year, it was not vintage Christmas (except for the old-style television playing "It's A Wonderful Life"), but it was still Christmassy with LED lights, warm blankets, a Christmas tree, garlands, wreaths, and a selection of modern Christmas music played with other hits. I visited with friends this year, and it was still good, but I felt that it was better in 2018 and 2019.
The drinks below are Christmaspolitan, On Dasher!, and Yippie Ki Ya Mother F****r! The drinks are pretty strong here, so you do get what you pay for. On Dasher! is a gin and vanilla liquer creamy cocktail topped with soda. Christmaspolitan is the Christmas version of the Cosmopolian cocktail but with a cranberry and spice twist. Yippie Ki Ya Mother F****r! is rum-based.
The Jingle Balls Nog came in a miniature mug and was a creamy cold cocktail with sherry, cream, milk, cognac, and other ingredients, but it was not strong at all.
SanTaRex comes served in a festive T-Rex mug and includes tequila, melon liquer, and bitters.
