Earlier today, Theme Park Shark gave fans of Universal Orlando Resort a sneak peek at some of the foods coming to the Celestial Park land within Epic Universe – a land so vast, and filled with so many unique and delicious restaurants and food options, that there was just too much to cover in one article.
Now, we come to the end of our tour of Celestial Park, with a quick overview of some of the beverages available at the specialty drink stops within this otherworldly new land. Two more restaurants within Celestial Park have been revealed to be offering a variety of specialty cocktails – ClestTiki and Bar Zenith, both of which have given guests a look at the themed drinks they will have available for purchase once Celestial Park opens to the public for its grand opening May 22nd, 2025.
Let’s take a look at some of the inter-stellar drinks guests will be able to sip as they travel across dimensions at Epic Universe this year!
CelesTiki
“It’s the trendiest tiki bar in the cosmos! Explorers can enjoy exotic drinks that can’t be found anywhere else in the universe, like Waturi Punch, a refreshing rum cocktail. Sip up and chill out.”
There’s nothing quite as refreshing as the Waturi Punch. A blend of rum, bitters, and fruit juices designed to evoke feelings of tropical bliss, the Waturi Punch is a fruity drink that makes kicking back and relaxing at Epic Universe practically second nature. This drink perfectly encapsulates the vibe of CelesTiki, an interstellar luau that sets the tone for the perfect laid-back day at Universal Orlando Resort! A good go-to for those looking for a sweeter fruity cocktail, the Waturi Punch is sure to be a beloved cousin to The Islander at Universal’s Islands of Adventure.
Even though the Frozen Mudslide looks more like something you would find at a Starbucks, don’t be fooled! This is still a cocktail, featuring a balanced blend of dark rum and espresso liqueur to give this drink its signature coffee flavor. Accompanying the alcohol is crème de cacao and a hearty topping of whipped cream drizzled with sweet chocolate syrup to give this drink its frappe look! Tasty and trendy, the Frozen Mudslide is a sweet and discreet treat that looks more like ice cream than a cocktail, and will be perfect for guests looking for a sweeter drink or a dessert with a bit of a kick to it!
The classic Pina Colada. Does this one need any introduction? Rum, lime juice, cream of coconut and pineapple juice bring the classic tropical flavors to life with a dash of smoked sea salt to bring out the depths of those sweet flavors we’re all familiar with. This Pina Colada is garnished with a juicy pineapple wedge to bring a vibrant flair of fresh fruit to the sweet drink, and to complete its tropical feel. And sure, Pina Coladas can be purchased elsewhere at Universal Orlando Resort, but none like this! Perfect for those hot days Florida is so fond of, this drink is sweet and slushy with a tangy twist.
Universal Orlando Resort never has a shortage of beverages to help the grown-up guests loosen up and have the best possible time, but sometimes you just want a fun drink without any of the extras. Meet the Kunuku Daiquiri, a tropical mocktail that’s the answer to your fun little drink needs! Featuring strawberry puree, lime juice, simple syrup, and strawberry essence all mixed with a hint of smoked sea salt to draw out and underscore those sweet flavors, this drink is a refreshing treat with absolutely no alcohol. Sweet and refreshing, this is another excellent choice for those Florida days where you feel you’re ready to melt!
A twist on the classic Pina Colada, this Branca Colada is a slightly different refreshing experience that blends rum, lime juice, pineapple juice, and cream of coconut to produce a familiar experience that’s enhanced with passion fruit puree to a familiar Colada sip with a new flair! Another perfect drink for cooling down and staying cool, the Branca Colada is a refreshing treat that comes with a garnish of lime wheel on the rim of the cup for the perfect tiki feel.
Bar Zenith
Boasting “Cosmic Cocktail Creations”, the Bar Zenith is the last restaurant within Epic Universe that has revealed its various treats, including some truly breathtaking drinks all themed after the heavenly bodies that have captivated humanity for eons.
Check out one of the coolest drinks at Epic Universe, the Meteor Strike. This cocktail blend of light rum, triple sec, lime and pineapple juices comes topped with not only just edible gold glitter, but a flaming lemon-extract-infused raw sugar cube ‘meteor’ served to elevate this already unique cocktail. Your drink literally comes on fire, and if that’s not the coolest (hottest?) thing, I don’t know what is.
The Meridian Bramble is a refreshing cocktail made with dry gin, raspberry liqueur, lemon juice, and simple syrup. This drink is also served with a blackberry garnish that sits atop the drink, perfect as an extra punch of fruity flavor in this drink. Light and fruity and perfect for sipping on a hot day, this cocktail is another great choice for when a refreshing sip is the perfect remedy for a hot day.
An epic take on the classic mojito, the Mojit-eor is a frozen cocktail that offers light rum, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and a splash of mint essance. A sprig of mint and a lime wheel garnish this drink, giving guests the classic mojito flavors.
Sometimes, you just can’t beat the classics, and the Mojit-eor is the prime example of that! Enjoy this feel-good sipper during your day at Epic Universe and enjoy the cool frozen twist on the classic mojito.
Another twist on a classic, the Cosmos-Politan is a mix of vodka, limoncello, lime and cranberry juices, simple syrup, and blood orange syrup, all topped with a hint of smoked sea salt to draw out all the sweetness of the syrups and fruit flavors mingling in this chilly cocktail. Garnished with a blood orage wheel, this frosty drink is a delicious classic perfect for a laid-back day in the park!
One more classic, the Star-garita is an eye-catching drink made with tequila, blue curaçao, fresh lime juice and sweet agave syrup that gives this drink a subtle sweetness, all underscored by the smoked sea salt and garnished with a lime wheel. A classic drink, the Star-garita is an effortlessly fun drink and the perfect go-to for guests looking for something delicious and refreshing but simple.
And of course, you all know this, but say it with me: guests must be 21 years and older and present valid ID to be served alcohol at any restaurant on Universal Orlando Resort property!
