Experience A Christmas Cocktail Carol, an immersive reimagining of Dickens’ iconic classic novel, featuring a dark Victorian twist and four holiday-themed cocktails, each paired with key scenes. This limited holiday engagement will be held at the GFWC Tampa Women’s Club House (2901 Bayshore Boulevard, Unit 1, Tampa) from December 12–14. Limited tickets remain—purchase tickets here.

Event organizers describe the ghostly show as “condensed for maximum impact.” This reimagined performance transports you to the heart of Victorian London, following Ebenezer Scrooge on his spirited encounters. Along the way, savor four holiday-inspired cocktails, each thoughtfully paired with the evening’s chilling moments. Bah, Humbug!

The actors are also mixologists

During the 90-minute performance, the holiday-inspired cocktails will be mixed and served by none other than the actors themselves, adding a unique twist to the theatrical experience. “A lot of actors work as bartenders on the side, so it made sense for us to collaborate on creating a cocktail menu,” explains Ryan Wieczorek, one of the event organizers and mixologists.

The Cocktail menu:

  • Bah, Humbug!: vodka, fiery ginger liqueur, zesty limeade, Angostura bitters, sparking soda water, garnished with dried lime and shredded ginger.
  • Past, Present, and Punch: vodka and elderflower liqueur paired with tart cranberry juice and lemonade, garnished with cranberries and rosemary sprig.
  • Ghostly Gold Cider: mix of traditional and caramel vodka, fresh apple cider, a touch of lemon juice, garnished with cinnamon stick and dried lemon.
  • Marshmallow Martini: a decadent blend of chocolate and whipped vodka, walnut liqueur, creamy chocolate milk, topped with mini marshmallows. Warning: contains nuts.

This limited-run event is the perfect prelude to the Christmas season’s events. Check out what else is happening this weekend. See more festive pop up bars across Tampa Bay.
