The new beverage programming at several Universal Orlando Resort hotels showcases cocktails and nonalcoholic drinks inspired by botanical apothecaries.
Four Loews Hotels at Universal Orlando properties are launching Alchemy by Loews, a brand-wide beverage program designed to transform traditional cocktail and Free Spirited (nonalcoholic) service into a transportive moment shaped by creativity and attention to detail. Participating Orlando resorts are Universal Helios Grand Hotel, a Loews Hotel, Loews Royal Pacific Resort, Loews Portofino Bay Hotel and Loews Sapphire Falls Resort.
Inspired by botanical apothecaries, Alchemy by Loews delivers intentionally crafted drinks layered with subtle sensory elements that elevate flavor, mood, and connection.
Designed for travelers seeking inventive food-and-beverage experiences, the program brings a refined, multi‑dimensional approach to hospitality. At participating resorts, each beverage highlights regional ingredients, seasonal botanicals, and destination‑driven flavors that reflect its surroundings.
Loews Hotels at Universal Orlando Offerings:
Clash of the Titans
Feta Honey (equal parts honey and feta water) and a feta garnish give this Tanqueray-forward cocktail a unique flavor and presentation. Lemon, St. Germain & egg whites round out the drink’s savory and sweet flavors.
Golden Dawn
A vibrant blend of pineapple rum, mango, and almond orgeat, elevated by its garnish: a yuzu gummy dipped in togarashi. A tropical hit with a spicy‑sweet twist.
The Italian 75
An elevated classic, with Portofino Dry Gin, Crème de Violette, and a finishing mist of Essentia Dolce Vita. Topped with crisp prosecco and a fresh lemon twist, it’s a sparkling tribute to effortless Italian elegance.
The Dino
A slow‑crafted standout, built on Michter’s Rye, Carpano Antica, and a Campari washed for days in Italian espresso and cinnamon, then aged three months in a whiskey barrel for unmatched depth.
The Key Lime Crush
Capturing the essence of dessert-in-a-glass with its house‑made key lime–vanilla cordial, topped simply with soda water for a bright, refreshing sip that is playful and nostalgic.
Sazerac
Sazerac blends Letter of Marque Strong Water Rum with rich demerara and bold Peychaud’s bitters, creating a deeper take on the classic. Finished with an absinthe mist and a bright lemon peel, it’s a timeless cocktail reimagined.
“Alchemy by Loews is about elevating the everyday ritual of enjoying a beverage into something memorable,” said Grant Hewitt, Vice President Beverage, Loews Hotels & Co. “Every detail, from aroma and temperature to glassware and texture, is considered with intention. The result is an experience that feels personal, artisanal, and deeply rooted in hospitality.”
Alchemy by Loews builds on the brand’s reputation for innovative, guest-centered food and beverage programming. As consumer preferences continue to shift toward personalization, craftsmanship, and Free Spirited options, the program meets guests where they are, offering elevated experiences that feel intentional, balanced, and distinctly curated to each resort.
