Sippin' Santa at Shore Leave
South End tiki bar Shore Leave goes all out for the holidays as an annual host of the acclaimed Sippin’ Santa pop-up bar. The halls of the basement bar are decked out with lights and surf-rock carols pipe through the speakers: Shore Leave transforms into Sippin’ Santa with tons of attention to detail. Along with sushi and drinks-friendly snacks, the menu adds signature Sippin’ Santa cocktails like White Russian Christmas, spiked with ancho chile liqueur; and the namesake Sippin’ Santa of aged rum, amaro, lemon, orange, and gingerbread spices. Plenty of new cocktails come out to play each season, as well as fun vessels—just don’t be a Scrooge and steal the mugs. They are available for sale. Sippin’ Santa at Shore Leave hosts Thursday night live surf rock, Friday karaoke, and other festive events throughout the season.
