Whether you have a Universal Orlando vacation booked or you’re dreaming of your next getaway, Loews hotels have the perfect antidote for your pre-trip wait, with two iconic cocktails you can recreate at home.

“Getaways in a Glass” is Loews Hotel’s newest brand-wide offering, featuring signature cocktails you can create at home. These handcrafted delights are inspired by recipes from properties around the country, and each is a subtle nod to its destination, including 2 based on Universal Orlando’s deluxe hotels.

Mark Weiss, senior vice president of food and beverage for Loews Hotels & Co. says, “Our food and beverage is seamlessly and deeply intertwined into our hotels. In sharing our ‘Getaways in a Glass’ cocktails, we hope to give guests a chance to have a taste of the incredible destinations where our hotels are located, while still delivering that locally, handcrafted hospitality that Loews is known for.”

And nothing says “sun-kissed” like fresh fruit flavors combined with 2 titillating rums, which is where Loews Royal Pacific Resort’s “Golden Dawn” handcrafted cocktail comes in. Find it at the hotel’s newly renovated lobby at Orchid Court Lounge & Sushi Bar.

Then, the refreshing flavor of muddled cucumber combined with the delicate perfume of Elderflower evokes the blissful contentment of a garden in summertime in Loews Portofino Bay Resort’s “Cool as a Cucumber,” available at the hotel’s Thirsty Fish wine and beer bar and poolside Splendido Bar & Grill, starting December 1 when the hotel re-opens to guests.

Make them at home and dream of your next Universal Orlando getaway with the following recipes:
