Thanksgiving is still a couple of weeks away, but Santa has already traded his sleigh for a surfboard. Sippin’ Santa, the tiki-meets-Christmas pop-up, has returned to Bitter & Twisted Cocktail Parlour in downtown Phoenix for its eighth year, running through Dec. 27.
Expect floor-to-ceiling kitsch, holiday palm trees, 10,000 lights, and plenty of rum in tropical holiday cocktails created by tiki legend Jeff “Beachbum” Berry. There’s also a zero-proof option for designated sledders.
New this year, B&T opens on Sundays starting Nov. 22. Walk-ins are welcome, but the $15 Sippin’ Experience lets you skip the line and comes with a $20 Secret Santa gift. Reservations open two weeks in advance.
