I'll try to get there in December and report back.

Its not a fully themed tiki bar but they know what they're doing when it comes to tiki drinks. It doesn't surprise me that they're working with Sippin Santa this year.

Not the big one, but those smaller ones. It was a set of 3 at least. I don't know what happened to them. Probably broken over the years.

The small Santa mug has been in our home for three generations. When is SippinSanta, with his sunglasses, coming to Florida? Thanks to uhaneRob for this post.

J JasonMa Tiki Socialite Joined: Jun 05, 2017 Posts: 118	J JasonMa Posted posted on Fri, Nov 29, 2019 9:25 AM There are two Miracle pop-ups in downtown Denver this year (and one in Colorado Springs!). We won't get there this year but the Sippin' Santa is in Arvada, the suburb where we live, at the Arvada Tavern. Arvada Tavern hosts a Tiki Tuesday night every Tuesday and has an event space on the upper floor that they converted to the Sippin' Santa location. We have reservations next Friday for St. Nicholas Day.

HH Hurricane Hayward Grand Member (1 year) 16 miles from The Mai-Kai Joined: Jun 07, 2008 Posts: 1905	HH Hurricane Hayward Posted posted on Fri, Nov 29, 2019 8:12 PM My first taste of Sippin' Santa on Las Olas ... Okole maluna and mele kalikimaka to Beachbum Berry, Cocktail Kingdom and Flight 19! I was most impressed with Christmas Eve of Destruction (Plantation O.F.T.D., lime juice, nutmeg syrup, Bénédictine, Angostura bitters) ... Featuring a healthy 2 ounces of O.F.T.D., this is nevertheless perfectly balanced and reminiscent of a classic Tiki drink.

T tikiskip Grand Member (8 years) Joined: Nov 26, 2005 Posts: 5994	T tikiskip Posted posted on Thu, Dec 5, 2019 2:12 PM Just went to the one here in Ohio and it was closed for a private party. OMG what a hipster puke fest! The guy walking in on the phone "we look forward to working with you" It was most likely his mom. BUT, FIND OUT FIRST IF IT"S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. I think the first day was Friday the 29th and that was a private party. Damn I'm used to Tracy getting me my Bud setting it at the bar BEFORE I even get there. Ok so I'll get a drink there one of these days.
T tikiskip Grand Member (8 years) Joined: Nov 26, 2005 Posts: 5994	T tikiskip Posted posted on Fri, Dec 6, 2019 5:19 PM I did make it there today, go early unless you like crowds. Was there right at 4:00 when they opened and it was filling up fast. Will post pictures later, it was cool, the stuff is awesome. The crowd on this day was not so hipster as it was the other day. Take your wallet it is not cheap.

J JasonMa Tiki Socialite Joined: Jun 05, 2017 Posts: 118	J JasonMa Posted posted on Fri, Dec 6, 2019 6:58 PM Just got back from the Denver (well, Arvada) location. We were talking to the bartender and he said they only had one day to set up the event space above their normal restaurant (the Arvada Tavern) but I think they did a good job. I've mentioned before that we're not big drinkers but we enjoy the tiki bar ascetic and when we go we usually have one drink. Well either my body is particularly susceptible to alcohol today or the Shaka Kalikimaka is the strongest drink I've had at a tiki bar. Its been 2+ hours since I started drinking it and I'm still feeling the effects, even after having dinner after we left Sippin' Santa.
B bamalamalu Tiki Socialite Joined: Mar 20, 2006 Posts: 1294	B bamalamalu Posted posted on Fri, Dec 6, 2019 7:42 PM Ugh, too bad about the private party on your first attempt, Skip. That stinks. Polite Provisions is doing the Miracle one here and I think I've seen several different notices about them doing that. We went to Grass Skirt last night for Sippin' Santa (and 1/2 off rum night.) It was more crowded than usual, but mainly due to a couple large groups/parties that happened to coincide with it. It didn't look like most people were even ordering the special drinks. I of course had the Christmas Eve of Destruction. It was good but was a lot more subtle than I expected. I didn't take a picture, but the one HH posted above does look darker than I recall mine being. It was good, but I expected a bit more potency and general OFTD blast of flavor.

Went back with the wife it was fun. Man those drinks are maybe not for me, all that Nutmeg and rosemary this and secret ing that just gives me a big ol hangover. Fun though. My wife woke up under the sink....

Did I just compliment your nutcup?? Just saying...its a nice nutcup !! Well...I think they are cool. And definitely catches your eye. I’m glad to hear people are liking Miracle and Sippin Santa. I’m trying t get into Miracle also...very booked !! Thanks for sharing pics!!! They are great to see!!

BUT on going to the events/pop up bars we just went right when they opened and there was not that big of a crowd. PLUS that gives the workers time to get your mugs you may want to buy and even ask them if you can have one of the Kohala bears from the one drink. Its harder to get them to do the extra stuff when they are busy. It's fun I say go.

I couldn’t believe all the decorations, especially the tikis and PNG masks. Between the five of us, we had almost every drink on the menu. I enjoyed the Christmas Eve of Destruction and Don and Victor. Merry tiki!

I'd remembered that Matt included a nutmeg recipe in Minimalist Tiki (page 81), and it looks pretty much like yours. I'll make some in a day or two so I can enjoy the drink again soon.

It was our first time at Miracle, and we all enjoyed it. The snowstorm helped with the ambiance.

We were both sick as we had the go to the hospital and wait for four hours and left because we just were tired of waiting. All we got was sick and a bill, went there not sick, thanks OSU "urgent care" you suck! And we had a damn mask on the whole time we were there. But Huli Huli did not do Sippin Santa but the place we went to Miracle last time was still there this year. Too Bad Huli Huli dropped it, it was fun.

Tried to go to Miracle on 30th Street at Polite Provisions, but at 4:15 p.m. on a Thursday the place was packed with a line down the block. It would have taken a "miracle" to get in.
